Peter Vella





Peter Vella Blush

A pale rose tint that looks as fresh and clean as it tastes. As you might expect, this is a light-bodied wine that exhibits pleasing notes of red berry fruit and then finishes crisply.
  

PETER'S SERVING TIP
The sweet fruit flavor of this wine makes it the obvious choice when pairing with desserts,  or as a partner for cheese and fruit before dinner. When the weather heats up, I'll sometimes pour my Blush over ice with a splash of carbonated spring water. What a fresh way to cool off!

Region: California
Sizes available: 5-liter box







Peter Vella Burgundy

Burgundy wines, or wines that originate from the Burgundy region in France, have long been prized for their hearty characteristics.  Burgundy, made in the style of these wines, offers a similar taste experience, beginning with a medium body that segues smoothly into delicious hints of black cherry fruit.
  

PETER'S SERVING TIP
Burgundy is the wine I like to match up with grilled meats, especially lamb or pork tenderloin. It's also a natural with spicy, red pasta sauces or even a hearty soup, like Minestrone.

Region: California
Sizes available: 5-liter box







Peter Vella Cabernet Sauvignon

The grapes for Peter Vella® Cabernet Sauvignon are harvested from some of California’s best-known growing regions. This wine is created in a light, easy-to-enjoy style with soft notes of cherry fruit and a wonderfully smooth finish
  

PETER'S SERVING TIP
I've never met a Cab I didn't like and versatility is probably the reason why. Ours will go from Porterhouse steak to a bowl of chili without missing a beat. Or try it with fiery homemade chicken fajitas and a side of Spanish rice. The mellowness of this wine handles spicy very well.

Region: California
Sizes available: 5-liter box







Peter Vella Chablis

California Chablis has enjoyed enormous popularity for many years and ours is one of the best. Peter Vella Chablis, offers a clean, refreshing taste accented by soft floral notes a smooth finish
  

PETER'S SERVING TIP
Our Chablis is equally at home on the patio with a platter of cheese and fresh fruit, or next to a serving of mussels over linguini. That's the beauty of this wine -- it goes with just about anything. Enjoy it with strips of herb-grilled chicken tossed into a spinach salad for a special treat.

Region: California
Sizes available: 5-liter box







Peter Vella Chardonnay

This crisp Chardonnay exhibits the rich apple, peach, citrus flavors and   aromas and is an excellent complement to meals that include pasta, seafood, poultry, or pork. It has a refreshing, fruit-forward style, accented by notes of green apple and pear. Hints of oak provide just enough depth.
  

PETER'S SERVING TIP
In my opinion, Chardonnay is one of those wines where you can get creative with food pairings. Creamy pasta sauces are a natural, but I'll also serve it with  grilled chicken tacos or a steaming bowl of corn chowder and French bread. A zesty seafood stew like Cioppino, with big chunks of white fish and scallops, also tastes great with this wine.

Region: California
Sizes available: 5-liter box







Peter Vella Delicious Red

Delicious Red earned its name for two very good reasons – its brilliant color and bright, fruity taste. Light-bodied and smooth on the palate, this wine has notes of strawberry and raspberry.
  

PETER'S SERVING TIP
To me this wine tastes like summer, so I think of summer foods like hickory-smoked barbecue chicken, a crisp seafood salad tossed with fresh crab and baby shrimp, even a simple plate of bread, cheese, and fresh fruit. Add to any of these dishes a chilled glass of Delicious Red and you're all set!

Region: California
Sizes available: 5-liter box







Peter Vella Merlot

Merlot, in particular, has a lighter mouthfeel and a fresher taste that people really seem to appreciate. Its easy-to-enjoy style marries well with the prominent but delicate flavors of ripe raspberry and cherry
  

PETER'S SERVING TIP
Our Merlot is a lighter-bodied wine, which means it pairs extremely well with heavier dishes like pasta. I like to highlight the raspberry fruit of this wine with the foods I prepare, so I'll usually pair it with a rich homemade tomato sauce with Italian sausage over spaghetti. All I need then is a little salad and some fresh-baked garlic bread and I'm all set!

Region: California
Sizes available: 5-liter box





Peter Vella Sangria Table Wine

Pan-fried fillet of sole with lemon, butter, and capers would be another great match. Just keep it light and simple.

Peter Vella White Zinfandel

Bright flavors of fresh strawberry and ripe watermelon.  You’ll be sure to appreciate the wine’s light body, and its crisp, clean finish complements the bright fruit taste with an easy grace and charm.

PETER'S SERVING TIP
Served slightly chilled, our White Zinfandel is made for long summer afternoons spent in the company of good friends. Of course, friends can get hungry, so why not bring out a tempting assortment of their favorite appetizers - Chinese potstickers, shrimp quesadillas, miniature quiches, or everyone's favorite, pigs-in-a-blanket. Or try it with Hawaiian chicken skewers fresh off the grill, accompanied by a savory wild rice pilaf.
