Tasting-Morada Sangria

Morada Sangria

Variety: Blend of red wine, unknown
Region: Unknown
Country: Spain
Year: Non-vintage
Price: $4.95

Tasting Notes: "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. 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: The sangria had a very sweet and fruity smell, which was to be expected; but also a distinct hint of ginger on the nose. I actually really liked this sangria! Definitely not a typical red 'wine' because it wasn't high in acidity or tannins. But it wasn't too sweet so I think it could easily be a crowd pleaser for when you have people over. 

I tasted this on its own with no food.
