The aroma is complex with layers of mineral, citrus, white flowers, and spice. On the palate the wine is balanced, vibrant, and round with a clean finish. The natural acidity of the region is rounded by labor-intensive barrel fermentation and aging, and a spontaneous Malolactic fermentation. Avni 2022 has nuances of lemon peel, green apple, river stone, and a softer edge of pear and quince in the background.

About this wine
Lingua Franca's AVNI Chardonnay showcases the distinctive terroir of Oregon's Willamette Valley, a region celebrated for producing elegant, mineral-driven white wines. This Chardonnay exemplifies the winery's commitment to balanced, food-friendly expressions of the varietal, with characteristic citrus and green fruit notes complemented by subtle spice and stony minerality. The wine's 13% alcohol and restrained style reflect the cool-climate conditions that define this prestigious appellation.
