Aprašymas

Sisters Chardonnay is a wine with lifted floral aromas and great length and complexity on the palate. Sisters also has the ability to evolve beautifully in the bottle and to reward patience with ethereal, flinty, wet stone and white truffle highlights. Sisters is always considered the finest, most elegant expression of Chardonnay in our cellar named in honor of Larry’s mother and aunt. The two sisters grew up on a farm and vineyard and remained close throughout their 90 years of life. This Chardonnay combines the finest lots of the vintage, sourced from grapes grown in Nekia soils throughout the Eola-Amity Hills, from our own Estate vineyard and, uniquely for this vintage, from a certified biodynamic vineyard in the Van Duzer Corridor that is planted on calcareous marine sediments.

Serving recommendations

Serve at 12-14 °C with lobster or crab with drawn butter whether with garlic or herbs.

Wine Enthusiast

“This latest bottling is more broadly sourced than previous vintages, including some fruit from the Van Duzer Corridor. It's a sappy, salty and delightful wine, with a juicy mix of apple, pear, apricot and peach. A seam of butterscotch fills out in the finish, along with well-integrated, toasty barrel highlights.” - Paul Gregutt

Wine Spectator

"Brisk and steely, with pinpoint focus, this version offers lemon blossom, quince and crushed rock accents that linger on the vibrant finish." - Tim Fish

Apie gamintoją

Lingua Franca was co-founded by Larry Stone, David Honig, and Dominique Lafon in 2015, inspired by the exceptional vineyard site in the Eola-Amity Hills that Larry bought in 2012. They soon hired Thomas Savre, a brilliant young winemaker with work experience at some of the best domaines in Burgundy and an inquisitive mind. Together they have assembled a team of talented and passionate members. All are committed to farming and winemaking practices that respect the environment, believing that complex and undisturbed ecosystems help to create the most interesting and seductive wines.
