WINE DESCRIPTION
King Family Crosé is a delightful rosé wine from King Family Vineyards in Virginia's Monticello AVA. This region's rolling hills, well-drained soils, and warm climate provide ideal conditions for the red grape varieties used in this blend. The winemaking process begins with two days of skin contact, followed by gentle pressing and a three-week fermentation in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures, maintained at 55°F to preserve fresh fruit flavors and aromas. High CO2 levels and no racking after fermentation prevent oxidation, while sterile filtration and no malolactic conversion result in a crisp, clean profile. The wine bursts with notes of strawberry, raspberry, and citrus, making it perfect for any occasion.

ORIGINS
Winery: King Family
Region: Virginia
Virginia is a state in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern regions of the United States. It is bordered by Maryland, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia to the south and west; Pennsylvania to the north; and Delaware to the east. With a long history of winemaking, Virginia is now one of the most exciting wine regions in the US.
Virginia has a long history of winemaking, dating back to the early 1600s when the first vines were planted by English settlers. The state was once home to the largest wine-producing region in the US, but Prohibition in the 1920s put an end to the industry. In the late 20th century, the industry began to revive, and today Virginia is home to over 300 wineries.CUSTOMER RATING
