Vineyard diversity

  • Chardonnay: focus of J. Schram Rosé, J. Schram, Brut Napa Valley Carneros, Brut Sonoma County Green Valley, Querencia, Blanc de Blancs, and a component in all other blends.
  • Pinot Noir: focus of Reserve, Blanc de Noirs, Extra Brut, Brut Anderson Valley, Brut Sonoma Coast and Brut Rosé; a component in several other blends.
  • Flora: a cross between Gewürztraminer and Semillon, the focus of the Crémant Demi-sec.
  • Site selection: cooler locations close to the bay and ocean have yielded sparkling wine grapes of more intense fruit flavor and elevated acidity.
  • Variable clones and rootstocks: specific selections of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and rootstock chosen for each soil and vigor. Each block is planted with the character of the ultimate wine in mind.
