Lingua Franca Sisters Eola-Amity Hills Chardonnay 2022

$160.00

Very complex and elegant aromas of yellow flowers, musk, incense, lemon blossom and sea spray make are backed up by the palate of bright citrus, spice and green apple, very persistent flavours through the long finish when salinity reappears as a coda. This is a spicy, mouthwatering and seductive Sisters 2022.

Vintage: 2022

ABV: 13.0%
Tasting Notes

A cold and rainy spring led to a late frost that devastated the Chardonnay crop. However, the end of June brought a weeklong heat wave of 35-40°C degrees that helped kick-start the period of bloom.
Vineyard Notes

50% of 2022 Sisters Chardonnay is sourced from Lynx Hill Vineyard, a neighboring vineyard site just south of us in the Eola-Amity Hills ideally suited to grow Chardonnay. The remaining 50% if from one of our favorite high altitude Chardonnay vineyards in South-West Salem, Maple Grove Vineyard.

Food Pairing

Hand-picked and whole-cluster pressed, settled for 24 hours in closed stainless-steel tanks, the wine is then barrel fermented with wild yeast in 25% new, 75% old French 600-liter puncheons from diverse coopers. The wines went through spontaneous malolactic fermentation in their cooperage and were left to age sur lie for 11 months. Finally, the wine is assembled in a closed-top stainless-steel tank with its lees for five months prior to bottling.
