Lingua Franca Estate Chardonnay 2023

產地：USA
產區：Oregon Eola-Amity Hills

The 2023 Lingua Franca Estate Chardonnay (Eola‑Amity Hills, Oregon) is bright and layered: lemon zest, green apple, white peach, and jasmine glide over a cool, stony core. The palate is precise and silky with vibrant acidity, subtle flint, and a long, saline‑mineral finish—an elegant, energizing white wine crafted for nuance and refreshment.

Vinification & Winemaking

Hand‑harvested fruit is gently pressed, fermented with native yeasts, and raised with a Burgundian sensibility in mostly neutral French oak and partial stainless steel. Extended lees aging adds texture and polish while preserving clarity, tension, and site expression.

Vineyard

Estate parcels in wind‑cooled Eola‑Amity Hills deliver citrus purity and focus. Volcanic Jory and related basaltic soils contribute saline drive and fine structure, translating terroir into a poised, mineral signature typical of top Oregon Chardonnay.

Background

Founded by Master Sommelier Larry Stone with Dominique Lafon and David Honig, Lingua Franca unites meticulous farming and minimalist winemaking to showcase Oregon Chardonnay of precision, balance, and age‑worthy finesse.

Food pairing: halibut with lemon‑butter, truffled roast chicken, or oyster mushrooms with thyme.
