Production & Heritage

Stella Rosa is produced by the Riboli family, who have operated San Antonio Winery — the oldest producing winery in Los Angeles — since 1917. The grapes for Stella Rosa Peach are sourced from the Asti region of Piedmont, Italy, where the wine is fully produced before import. Moscato grapes are pressed and centrifuged, then held cold as juice at 28 degrees Fahrenheit to preserve bright fruit character. A proprietary blend of natural peach flavors is then integrated into the base wine, resulting in the signature ripe peach profile that distinguishes this expression from the broader Stella Rosa lineup.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh white peach dominates the nose, followed by delicate floral notes and a subtle honeyed sweetness. A light effervescence lifts the aromatics, giving the wine an inviting, summery character.

Taste: The entry is bright and juicy with ripe white peach flavors front and center. At mid-palate, layers of honeyed citrus and faint floral tones emerge, balanced by the wine's gentle sparkle. The semi-sweet profile stays restrained enough to avoid cloying, with natural acidity providing structure.

Finish: Medium in length with a smooth honey-peach fade and lingering citrus brightness. The fine bubbles leave a clean, refreshing close.

How to Drink Stella Rosa Peach

Serve well chilled, ideally between 38–45°F, in a white wine glass to concentrate the peach aromatics. This wine is best enjoyed on its own or over ice on warm days. A Bellini is a natural fit — substitute this for traditional Prosecco to amplify the peach element. It also works in a White Peach Sangria, where the existing stone fruit notes meld seamlessly with sliced peaches, nectarines, and a splash of brandy. For a low-ABV spritz, try a Peach Hugo by combining Stella Rosa Peach with elderflower syrup, fresh mint, and a squeeze of lime over ice.
