Lingua Franca Chardonnay 2018

From the Producer: The 2018 Lingua Franca Estate Chardonnay aroma is a combination of creamy lemon custard, grapefruit zest, jasmine and vanilla. While it has the richest aroma and texture of all our Chardonnays, it is still lively and bright, lifted by its underlying energy. It is an excellent expression of our vineyard and has already demonstrated the ability to age beautifully.

The Estate Chardonnay deserves to be served with rich and subtle dishes, such as halibut with a chanterelle sauce, sablefish, turbot with a shellfish sauce, plank-smoked Copper River salmon with a dill sauce, lobster with a ginger butter, Bouillabaisse or black cod, sea bass, or other richer fish. For more casual dining, it would pair well with a béchamel or a simple cheese-rich dish, such as Truffle Mac ‘n Cheese.
