Production & Heritage

Liberty Creek is part of the E & J Gallo Winery portfolio, a family-owned operation founded in 1933 in Modesto, California. Gallo was among the first major American wineries to pioneer the widespread adoption of stainless steel fermentation tanks in place of traditional wood casks, a move that helped achieve cleaner, more consistent fruit expression across their wines. For this Pink Moscato, grapes are selected from established California vineyards for their varietal character, then vinified to preserve bright, fresh fruit flavors. The wine undergoes traditional fining and filtration prior to bottling to ensure clarity and a clean profile.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh raspberry and ripe peach lead immediately, followed by lighter hints of melon and orange blossom. The nose is bright and inviting without any cloying heaviness.

Taste: The entry is distinctly sweet, with juicy peach and raspberry flavors coating the palate right away. At mid-palate, tropical fruit notes — guava and melon — emerge alongside soft citrus tones. The body is light, keeping the sweetness from feeling dense or syrupy.

Finish: Clean and refreshing, with a gentle fade of orange blossom and residual tropical fruit. The finish is brief but pleasant, encouraging another sip rather than lingering on the palate.

How to Drink Liberty Creek Pink Moscato

Serve well chilled, ideally between 40–45°F, to keep the fruit flavors crisp and the sweetness balanced. This wine is easy to enjoy on its own but also works as a mixer. In a Moscato Sangria, its peach and raspberry notes pair naturally with sliced stone fruit and berries. A Moscato Spritz — topped with club soda and a squeeze of lime — makes a low-ABV warm-weather refresher. It also works in a Peach Bellini variation, where the wine's tropical character complements peach purée without overpowering it.

• Introducing new wine drinkers to Moscato as an accessible starting point
