Domaine Lingua Franca, nestled in the Eola-Amity Hills of Willamette Valley, Oregon, is renowned for producing exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines. Acquired by Larry Stone on December 31, 2012, the vineyard boasts unique Nekia, Gelderman, and Jory soils that provide ideal conditions for viticulture.

Under the guidance of renowned regenerative viticulturist Mimi Casteel, the vineyard is farmed using low-impact, organic, and biodynamic methods. Each plot is carefully planted with combinations of rootstock and budwood tailored to the soil’s specific conditions, ensuring the fruit’s pure expression and elegance.

This attention to quality attracted the expertise of Dominique Lafon, one of Burgundy's most respected winemakers, who joined Larry Stone and winemaker Thomas Savre to create wines that capture the essence of the Oregon terroir.

With a climate reminiscent of Burgundy, featuring moderate seasonal temperatures and long daylight hours, Lingua Franca's Pinot Noir and Chardonnay stand out for their finesse and balance, embodying the unique characteristics of the vineyard while respecting the environment.
