The 2017 'Avni' Chardonnay is another absolutely gorgeous showing from Lingua Franca. It instantly impresses as it opens with bright lemon zest, kiwi and melon tones that connect all with the wet stone character on then nose. Displaying wonderful freshness and intensity with gobs of lip-smacking acidity that keep it fresh and inviting as flavors of bright citrus and orchard fruits parade with minerals on the palate. While this is nothing short of utterly delicious now, this brilliant Chardonnay should also evolve beautifully over the course of the next decade.
