2022 Lingua Franca Bunker Hill Chardonnay

品飲筆記：杯中先是清新檸檬皮與青果香，接著慢慢展現烤杏仁、奶油烘焙感與帶著菇類的鮮味。口感圓潤，中段有柔和奶油感，但酸度明亮，尾段礦感與鹹鮮把整體拉得很乾淨。

酒莊介紹：奧勒岡魂（Lingua Franca）在威拉米特山谷以冷涼產區風格著稱，強調園地特性與優雅平衡，這款出自碉堡園（Bunker Hill）的酒，展現了產區的清爽與結構。

釀造手法：採溫柔壓榨，部分在法國橡木桶中發酵，並以酒泥攪拌與部分乳酸發酵增添口感厚度。經過近一年瓶裝前的細緻照料，保留了鮮明的酸度與細膩的香氣。

葡萄園環境：碉堡園位處坡地、排水良好，受冷夜影響較大，成熟期拉長讓風味更集中且酸質保持清爽。栽培注重產量管理與果實健康，讓每一串都帶有場址特有的礦質感。

飲用建議：建議醒瓶約30分鐘，溫涼飲用最佳。料理搭配相當廣泛，像是菇類前菜、濃醇海鮮或燒烤香草白肉都很合拍。

Tasting note: Bright citrus and green orchard fruit open the glass, layered with toasted almond, warm pastry and a savoury, mushroom-like nuance. The palate offers a creamy mid-palate lifted by lively acidity, subtle oak spice and a saline mineral undertow that carries a long, focused finish.

Producer notes: From Lingua Franca’s Bunker Hill site in Willamette Valley, this is a cool-climate, Burgundian-inspired expression crafted to balance restraint and texture. The wine sits in the classic house style of freshness with gentle oak integration and food-friendly structure.

Winemaking notes: Grapes were handled gently with whole-bunch pressing and fermented in French oak barrels and tanks. A portion saw new oak for structure while lees contact and partial malolactic fermentation contribute creaminess and mid-palate weight. Aged roughly 10–12 months before bottling to preserve brightness.

Vineyard notes: Bunker Hill is a well-exposed, well-drained site that benefits from cool nights and a long, even ripening season. Soils with mineral and volcanic influence, combined with careful low-yield viticulture, produce concentrated flavours and fine natural acidity.

Service & pairing: Best enjoyed slightly chilled and allowed to open for about 30 minutes. Pairs beautifully with mushroom dishes, richer fish preparations, roasted vegetables and herb-roasted white meats.
