Crémant is French for “creamy” and traditionally refers to a sparkling wine with less pressure and softer effervescence. Our Crémant Demi-sec has roughly half the pressure of our other sparkling wines; it presents a creamier texture and more exotic flavors. THE 2004 VINTAGE “Aromas of honeyed spice, rum cake, rhubarb pie and baked pineapple commingled with wild pear, melon and tea leaves. The bouquet of mouth-watering fresh fruit blends harmoniously with the wine’s more mature elements. On the palate, this wine is rich and creamy, yet still vibrant and refreshing.” Winemakers - Hugh Davies & Craig Roemer We made California’s first Crémant in 1972. After rigorous study we chose the unusual California grape named Flora (a cross of Sémillon and Gewürztraminer developed at U.C. Davis) to be the core component of this cuvée. This grape unites the fruit forward character of Gewürztraminer with the strength and depth of Sémillon. We age the Crémant Demi-sec on the yeast for about three years, which adds complexity, yet allows it to retain its attractive youthfulness. This delicious sparkler has a spicy, floral character, which will evolve into rich, caramelized apricot and peach flavors with further aging. The sweetness in Crémant is subtle, providing a fine balance with desserts such as fruit tarts, poached fruit, light cakes, custards, exotic sorbets, crème caramel, gingerbread and crème brûlée. It also complements a wide range of spicy Asian foods and matches especially well with foie gras. Schramsberg Crémant Demi-sec has been served during many State events including: President Reagan’s Second Inaugural Luncheon, President Bush’s Reception for the Prime Minister of Pakistan, the San Francisco Reception for President Gorbachev and President Clinton’s dinner for the Prime Minister of Canada. Additionally, it was served at a dinner honoring the recipients of the 1997 National Medal of the Arts and Charles Frankel Prize Awards. More recently, Crémant was served at the first State dinner of President George W. Bush with Mexico’s President Vicente Fox and his wife and a dinner hosted by President Bush in London for Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip.
