Lingua Franca - Avni Chardonnay 2022 (750ml) Stags Leap District The intense fruit flavors lingerWinemaker Notes 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. Professional Ratings
