Lingua Franca was co-founded by Larry Stone and Dominique Lafon in 2015, inspired by the exceptional vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills that Larry bought in 2012 and planted in 2013. Thomas Savre, who worked at some of the top domains in Burgundy, is responsible for overseeing the winemaking and farming. He is a master at capturing the character of each vineyard site with every vintage.
50% of the 2022 Sisters Chardonnay is sourced from Lynx Hill Vineyard, a neighboring vineyard site just south of us in the Eola-Amity Hills, ideally suited to grow Chardonnay. The remaining 50% is from one of our favorite high-altitude Chardonnay vineyards in South-West Salem, Maple Grove Vineyard.
