Fess Parker 2018 Marcella’s Crisp White Blend Wine

Discover Fess Parker’s Radiant White Blend from Santa Barbara County

Crafted by Fess Parker Winery in California’s renowned Santa Barbara County vineyards, this 2018 white blend masterfully combines 47% Viognier, 38% Grenache Blanc, 22% Roussanne, and 3% Marsanne for a harmonious balance of elegance and complexity. Designed for wine enthusiasts seeking vibrant acidity paired with juicy fruit-forward flavors, this bottle shines as a versatile companion for everyday enjoyment or special occasions.

Taste Profile:
This crisp white blend opens with bright citrus zest before revealing layers of ripe peach and apricot nectar on the palate. Subtle spice undertones—think hints of vanilla bean—and mineral-driven freshness create depth that lingers long after each sip. Its refreshing acidity makes it equally at home as an aperitif or paired with richly sauced dishes.

Perfect Pairings:
– Shellfish dishes like buttery shrimp scampi or garlic-drenched steamed mussels
– Herb-crusted chicken or pork chops finished with cream-based sauces
– Creamy vegetable gratins or roasted Brussels sprouts tossed in truffle oil

Why This Wine Stands Out:
– Unique Blend: The inclusion of Marsanne adds rare depth compared to typical blends
– Versatile Acidity: Balanced enough to complement both light seafood and hearty casseroles
– Santa Barbara Terroir: Coastal fog and warm days create grapes bursting with concentrated flavor

Sip Smarter: At 14.1% alcohol by volume, this wine offers smooth drinkability without overpowering bold flavors. Whether you’re hosting friends or enjoying a quiet evening at home, this Fess Parker blend delivers sophistication that’s always within reach.
