The Ferrari-Carano 2006 Emelia’s Cuvée Chardonnay, named for Don Carano’s paternal grandmother, Emelia Ferrari, boasts ripe aromas of white peaches, apples and nutmeg spice interwoven with layers of creamy tropical fruit and apricot flavors. An elegant finish characterizes this spectacular wine from our Russian River Valley “Vineyard Select” series. <br /><br /><b><i>Vintage Notes</i></b><br /><br />A mild late spring and summer ensured that the mature vines had a healthy canopy for the grapes, which provided the perfect combination of sunlight and heat penetrating the grape clusters. These conditions allowed the grapes to reach full maturity in both flavor and structure. Harvest was completed mid-October. <br /><br /><b><i>Winemakers Notes</i></b><br /><br />Two Chardonnay clones comprise our 2006 Emelia’s Cuvée Chardonnay. Both of these clones were hand harvested, 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 by lot, the wine undergoes 100 percent malolactic fermentation and is sur lie aged and stirred every week for 10 months until bottled. <br /><br /><b><i>Appellation:</i></b> Russian River Valley “Vineyard Select” <br /><br /><b><i>Blend:</i></b>100% Chardonnay <br /><br /><b><i>Cooperage:</i></b> 30% new Burgundian French oak, 70% older French oak <br /><br /><b><i>Release Day:</i></b> March 2008<br /><br /><img height="65" src="https://www.nexternal.com/fcwinery/images/p_glass-white.jpg" width="37" /><b><i>Rhonda's Recipe and Pairing Notes</i></b><br /><br /><a href="http://www.ferraricarano.com/wine-food/recipes/summer/SpicyLimeGingerGrilled%20Shrimp.aspx" target="http://www.ferraricarano.com/wine-food/recipes/summer/SpicyLimeGingerGrilledShrimp.aspx">Spicy Lime Ginger Grilled Shrimp</a><br /><br />Emelia’s Cuvée Chardonnay pairs perfectly with seafood and poultry entrees, as well as salads with tropical fruit-based dressings.
