Variety: Sangria
Country: Spain (Ciudad Real)
Price: $4.95
Vintage Cellar Review: Morada Sangria is a traditional Spanish drink made with red wine
and citrus extracts. Garnet color and fresh on the palate. Pasteurization preserves the color, aromas and flavors. 7% Alc. It is a very refreshing Sangria with around 85 grams of sugar. Sangria is now one of the hottest items in the beverage industry and it's growing exponentially year to year.
Serve well chilled, on its own or with lemonade and slices of fruit
like peach, banana or apple.
My Review: My previous experience with sangrias were no good. They were always just bad, bitter, weird to be nice, but this was what I want out of sangria: extremely sweet. I've had so many dry red wines that this just cleansed my palate so bad that I bought a bottle on the spot. It not only was really sweet, but had other stuff going on too. The smell was the equivalent of throwing flowers and oranges at my face: crazy florals and citrus, but sometimes you want that ya know. I also got a subtle smell of mint, which I thought I was crazy for saying, but I absolutely loved that aspect. The taste was exactly what I expected and was not dissappointing. I instantly knew my roommate would hate it due to the sweetness, and that made me like it more too. Overwhelming tastes of peaches and apples with tones of citrus to round it out like some sort of decadent fruit salad. Very good for red wine haters, and definitely recommended for anyone with a sweet tooth like me.
