Lingua Franca Willamette Valley 'Bunker Hill' Chardonnay 2019
$85.00
Bunker Hill is back with the 2019 vintage. The wine is selected from the old vine material in the Salem Hills at an elevation of 650-700ft above sea level, overlooking the Willamette River from the east side. The volcanic soils here are particularly shallow and rocky, making for a sleek wine of mineral brilliance that will evolve for many years.
Bunker Hill was planted in 1995 with the same material that was used to replant Seven Springs Vineyard. It is all CH76, with a brilliant, citrus, flinty nose, tension, and precision from the combination of clone, vine age and terroir. In the coming years, there should be more wine coming from this site, as we are now working on expanding the vineyard.
