Production & Heritage

Barefoot Cellars, headquartered in Modesto, California, launched its Fruitscato line as a proprietary range that blends Moscato wine made from Muscat grapes with natural fruit flavors. The Peach expression sits alongside nearly a dozen other fruit variants — including Strawberry, Mango, Watermelon, and Pineapple — but remains one of the most popular in the lineup. The wine undergoes a process that retains a gentle effervescence, keeping the body light and the alcohol level modest at 7.5%, well below a standard table wine.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Bright, ripe peach dominates on the nose, supported by softer notes of apricot and a whisper of citrus zest. Subtle floral undertones emerge as the wine opens up in the glass.

Taste: The entry is immediately sweet and fruit-forward, with lush ripe peach and nectarine flavors filling the palate. A light touch of honey rounds out the mid-palate, while gentle carbonation provides a refreshing crispness that keeps the sweetness from becoming cloying.

Finish: Smooth and approachable, the finish carries lingering peach candy and soft tropical fruit tones. It fades quickly and cleanly, inviting the next sip.

How to Drink Peach Fruitscato

Serve well chilled — straight from the refrigerator or over ice on a warm day. The low ABV and natural sweetness also make it a versatile ingredient in lighter cocktails. A Peach Bellini benefits from the concentrated stone-fruit flavor without needing added syrup. A Peach Sangria built with sliced nectarines and a splash of sparkling water makes for an easy batch-serve option. A Frozen Peach Wine Slushie — simply blended with ice — leans into the wine's candy-like sweetness for a crowd-pleasing summer drink.
