Lingua Franca Avni Chardonnay 2021 750ml

The bouquet is very complex and layered: petrichor (the scent of rain on dry earth), gunflint, lime zest, lemon balm, pear, white flowers, orange blossom, notes of peach Melba, and coconut sugar. The wine is medium‑bodied, balanced, and energetic. It possesses a creamy yet vibrant and lively texture, with chalky minerality and pleasant acidity. The palate is concentrated, with hints of pear, citrus, and green apple, seasoned with dried herbs. There is a light textural grip, a touch of toasted oak, and notes of lemon sorbet with earthy oregano. The finish is long, smooth, with notes of honey, ginger, cardamom, flint, and citrus zest, along with a fresh hint of chives and spices.
