Winery Review: The charming flavors of white peach blended with natural honey are the first tastes to tickle your tongue. Stella Rosa Peach reviews describe the sensation of the lime spritz, crème de cassis, rose petals, and peach pie that line up on the palate as amazing. Nothing dominates, and all the flavors are balanced and natural. Stella Rosa Peach has an uncomplicated finish. There are lingering sweetness and fruity notes, which exit smoothly without leaving a syrupy, cloying taste (https://www.winepros.org/stella-rosa-peach/).

Wine Folly: (https://winefolly.com/deep-dive/moscato-wine/) I get a little of the dry taste and definitely get a very sweet smell                                                                    from the wine. Tasting it I can see where the aromatics make it                                                                    sweeter than it is.

My Review: This wine has a very sweet smell and is similar to champagne. I could not smell any hint of the peach. The taste is amazing, smooth with a slight peachy touch and ending with a tart aftertaste. Not strong at all, and could barely taste the alcohol. I had a second tasting with Brie cheese and salami. The creamy Brie complemented the sweetness of the wine as well as the saltiness of the salami. Having all 3 together was great and encouraged even more wine drinking to taste the combination.

All in all a very tasty wine and was perfect for a light wine drinking occasion with friends.
