Peter Vella Sweet Red (5L, 8%)

A light-bodied, sweet red blend from California's Central Valley, produced by Peter Vella Wines, part of E. & J. Gallo Winery, founded in 1933 in Modesto. It is packaged in a 5-litre bag-in-box with an interior pouch and easy-pour tap designed to prevent oxygen contact, keeping the wine fresh for up to two months after opening when refrigerated. It is bottled at 8% ABV. The nose has ripe red berries, bright raspberry and juicy blackberry, with noticeable sweetness. The palate is soft and fruit-forward with raspberry, juicy blackberry and gentle sweetness, with minimal alcohol presence. The finish is short and clean, with lingering berry sweetness and little tannin.
