Tasting: Morada Sangria

Name: Morada Sangria
Variety: Sangria (red wine and citrus extracts)
Region: None Listed
Country: Spain
Year: None listed
Price: $4.95

Winery 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: The smell was very strongly exotic, smelling of oranges and cinnamon. Upon tasting it, not only did I get an intense sweetness, but the notes of cardamom, orange lemon and grape all show through in a very harmonious way. I purchased a bottle of this immediately after tasting it because it was so delicious! My only concern is the high sugar content- having more than 1-2 glasses would likely result in a stomachache.

Food: None
