Lingua Franca Avni Chardonnay 2023 is an elegant and expressive white wine from Oregon's renowned Willamette Valley. Crafted from 100% Chardonnay grapes grown in volcanic and marine sedimentary soils, this wine reveals delicate aromas of lemon blossom, white peach, honeysuckle, and fresh citrus. Barrel fermentation and lees aging create a silky, rounded texture with flavors of green apple, ripe pear, lemon zest, and subtle toasted almonds. Bright acidity, refined minerality, and a long, saline finish make it an excellent pairing for seafood, roasted chicken, grilled fish, and creamy pasta dishes.
