King Family Vineyards Verde V White Blend Monticello Virginia 2023

56% Chardonay, 44% Sauvignon Blanc. Pale lemon in color, this wine opens with vibrant aromas of grapefruit, lemon zest, white peach, green apple, gooseberry, honeysuckle, white blossom, and fresh-cut herbs with subtle mineral notes. The palate is lively and refreshing with flavors of citrus, green apple, white peach, pear, pineapple, lemongrass, and wet stone. Dry with high acidity, light body, medium flavor intensity, and a medium-plus finish, the wine is crisp and energetic, with a slight natural spritz enhancing its freshness and bright citrus character. The Chardonnay contributes texture and ripe orchard fruit, while the Sauvignon Blanc provides aromatic lift, vibrant acidity, and herbal complexity. Low alcohol, lively acidity, and excellent balance make this an exceptionally refreshing, easy-drinking white.

Food Pairing: Lighter cuisine styled wine. Virginia oysters, goat cheese, grilled shrimp, crab cakes, ceviche, summer salads, grilled chicken, vegetable risotto, fresh chèvre
