Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Gruener Veltliner
Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gruener Veltliner are my top picks for Salad. Sauvignon Blanc and Gruner Veltliner both have herby notes that complement salads with enough acid to match tart vinaigrettes, while a Chardonnay can be a good pick for creamy salad dressings. One wine you could try is Maddalena Chardonnay. It has 4.9 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 13 dollars.
Maddalena Chardonnay
Barrel fermentation in French and American oak, malolactic fermentation, lees stirring, and sur lie aging develop this wine to its greatest potential. Maddalena Vineyard Chardonnay greets the nose with a potpourri of fruit-driven aromas, including citrus, guava, and orange peel. These aromas are complemented by a mineral element, described as "wet stones." Forward fruit is also revealed in the mouth, which is accompanied by good structure and a long, crisp finish.
