The dosage for Scharffenberger Cellars is drawn from the estate’s reserve solera, established in the early 1980s. This cuvée remains the winery's bread-and-butter wine and enjoys its widest distribution. Despite the 8.5 g/L dosage, the wine is bright and well-balanced, delivering both depth and breadth on the palate. A core of orchard fruit—apple and pear—builds towards stone fruit notes of apricot, laced with gentle baking spices. A bright, creamy, and energetic mousse adds lift and drive, carrying the wine with freshness and poise. Disgorged February 2025; aged more than two years on the lees prior to disgorgement; dosage 8.5 g/L.
