EmmaLily Vineyards was named after our two daughters. We are a small family micro-boutique w**ery, making small lot Cabernet Sauvignon, Meritage and Cabernet Franc w**es. We are located in Morgan Hill, CA. Our w**es are hand crafted in separate fermentation bins. We use different yeasts to enhance flavors highlighting the beginning, middle and end of the w**e experience. We extend the fermentation for 22-30 days past complete sugar conversion to alcohol. This technique is called extended maceration and creates a nice mouth feel and assists in integrating the tannins. We use new and used French oak barrels with different toasts and aged separately between 30-34 months, blending back the same fruit into the final product prior to bottling. This allows us to produce brilliant deep color, fresh and rich beginning highlighting the fruit, layered and full bodied middle and big round finish that continues showing the complexity long after the w**e is gone. Sixty five to Eighty percent of our w**e is bottled in large format bottles, 9L, 3L, and 1.5L, with the remaining in 750 ml bottles. If you have any more questions or would like to set up a w**e tasting, email us at [email protected] or laura@emmalilyvineyards. We are located in Morgan Hill California, an area called Paradise Valley, on the backside of El Toro Mountain.
