Franchere Wine Co. Willamette Valley White Lionesses 2022 Vintage:2022 pure clay and rough crackedA delightfully typical blend of Ehrenfelser and Kerner, two of the lesser known hybrid grapes to come out of the German school of hybrid grape production. Lucky for us, they found their way to Oregon's Willamette Valley for this wine. High toned, floral and fruity in equally high measure, lean and crisp and refreshing.
