Two Chardonnay clones comprise our Emelia’s Cuvée Chardonnay. Both of these clones were whole cluster pressed, then cold-settled for two days in stainless steel tanks, and moved directly to barrels for fermentation, utilizing various French oak cooperages. Aged separately in French oak, the wine undergoes 50% malolactic fermentation and is sur lee aged and stirred every two weeks for 15 months until bottled.

This special Chardonnay, named after Don Carano's grandmother, displays flavors of tropical fuits, apricot, and fig with toasted hazelnut and spice on the finish.
