KING FAMILY VINEYARDS

ARTIST SERIES

We’ve always believed that winemaking is a creative act. With our Artist Series, we’re celebrating that belief by bringing two crafts together.

The Artist Series is a collection of three young, lively wines, each released under a unified vision yet brought to life through the eyes of a different artist with every vintage. These are wines made to be enjoyed in the moment – bright, expressive, and full of energy – paired with original artwork that makes each bottle unique.

Every vintage, we invite a new artist to interpret the spirit of the series, giving each release its own distinct character while keeping a cohesive thread running through the collection.

We’re proud to launch the inaugural 2025 vintage in collaboration with local artist Roshi K, whose work brings a fresh, vivid perspective to our first release.

ROSHI K.

Roshi K is a contemporary multidisciplinary artist who works with textiles, acrylic, digital and mixed media to explore themes of emotional resilience, balance, and the unseen forces shaping the human experience. Utilizing backgrounds in traditional studio art and traditional 2D animation, she weaves together symbolism, metaphysical concepts, organic forms and gold accents to communicate the universal dance between fragility and strength. Roshi K currently resides in Staunton, Va while creating work and savoring motherhood against the serene backdrop of the lush Shenandoah Valley.

Roshi K’s career includes collaborations with brands such as Crown Royal and REI. Her work has been included in group shows across the US as well as in solo exhibits in Austin, Manhattan, and Virginia. Roshi K has enjoyed live painted at festivals including SXSW, Austin City Limits, and X-Games while her illustrations have been featured as the first illustrated cover of Edible Blue Ridge Magazine.

BEHIND THE LABEL

After being inspired by the creativity embedded in Virginia’s natural wine culture, Roshi K earned a WSET level 2 Award in wines, which deepened her exploration of transformation as a process and practice. Grapes that endure the harshest conditions are often said to create the best wines, a sentiment echoed by the creative resiliency of humans and nature. A lotus flower can represent enlightenment due to the strength it takes to push through the mud in order to bloom. Winemaking also requires a similar strength and enlightenment in order to understand the delicate balance in the forces of nature on the macro and micro levels. Roshi K uses the lotus flower to encourage contemplation of the perpetual act of finding one’s balance in life, while enjoying a glass of wine to sweeten the path through the mud of life.

Rosé Pet Nat

Dry and zippy, with a rush of bursting florals and fresh red fruit, this is a wine that leads with energy and charm. Think wild strawberry, rose petal, and a squeeze of citrus, wrapped in a fine, persistent bubble that keeps every sip feeling effervescent and bright. The Merlot grape brings enough body to give it substance without weighing it down.

WHITE BLEND

Fresh green fruit, bright citrus, and a whisper of celery greet the nose, leading to a crisp, mineral-driven palate that feels almost like sparkling water with ambition. The high acidity keeps everything lively and clean, while the light body ensures it never overstays its welcome. The finish is short, snappy, and leaves you ready for the next sip.

CARBONIC MACERATION MERLOT

A vibrant and fruit-forward Merlot crafted using the technique of carbonic maceration. In this unique process, whole grape clusters are fermented in a carbon dioxide-rich environment before being gently pressed. This method enhances the wine’s bright, juicy character while softening tannins, resulting in a lighter-bodied, fruit-packed expression of Merlot. Bursting with fresh red berry notes and a hint of floral lift, this wine is best enjoyed young and slightly chilled – perfect for warm days or casual gatherings.
