I am quite besotted of late with the whites of the Lugana region of Italy. Of course producers vary, but they usually have elements of both Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin, and sometimes both at once. I really love this one:

2021 Zenato Lugana San Benedetto Turbiana, Verdicchio
Better than a year ago with ample depth and complexity. Balanced rich fruit, lemon rind and mineral flavors with just a touch of waxy furniture polish. Bears some resemblance to a Loire chenin.
My wine shopping and I have never had a problem. Just a perpetual race between the bankruptcy court and Hell.--Rogov
