Quick Facts: ABV: 11%  |  Origin: New York, USA  |  Style: Sweet Flavored Concord Wine  |  Producer: Manischewitz Wine Company (E & J Gallo Winery)

Production & Heritage

The Manischewitz brand has been synonymous with kosher wine in America for generations, rooted in Canandaigua, New York. Now under the ownership of E & J Gallo Winery following their 2021 acquisition, the wines are produced using Labrusca Concord grapes fermented at 60 degrees Fahrenheit in stainless steel tanks, preserving bright fruit character. The Cream Peach Concord undergoes mevushal treatment — a rapid flash pasteurization process at 82°C (180°F) — ensuring the wine maintains its kosher status regardless of who handles it after production, making it suitable for any kosher table setting.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Ripe peach and classic Concord grape jam fill the nose immediately. Underneath, there is a candied sweetness and a soft floral quality typical of Labrusca-based wines.

Taste: The palate opens with pronounced peach flavor layered over the familiar grapey sweetness of Concord. Mid-palate, a creamy, rounded texture emerges — the hallmark of the "Cream" designation in the Manischewitz range. The sweetness is full and forward throughout, with the peach and grape flavors sharing equal prominence.

Finish: The finish is moderate in length with lingering peach and grape candy notes. A soft, smooth close with no harsh edges keeps the wine approachable and easy to drink.

How to Drink Cream Peach Concord

Serve well chilled, ideally between 40–45°F, to keep the sweetness balanced and refreshing. This wine also works over ice on warm days. For a simple spritzer, top with sparkling water and a fresh peach slice. It blends naturally into a Sangria, contributing sweetness and stone fruit flavor without additional sugar. A Peach Bellini riff using this wine in place of traditional prosecco and peach purée creates an easy, crowd-friendly punch variation.

Best For

• Kosher holiday meals and Shabbat dinners requiring mevushal wine
• Casual gatherings where guests prefer sweet, fruit-forward wines
• Dessert pairing at family celebrations and festive occasions
• Stocking a home bar with a versatile, large-format sweet wine
