Shop 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: Holy Guacamole is this a sweet wine! I've never had a true sangria before, but I have had a frozen sangria at Pizzaria Uno and a boxed sangria from Franzia, and neither of them were this sweet. On the nose, I honestly thought this wine tasted like seaweed and ginger. After giving it a taste, though, this was a full on fruit salad. You could barely taste the alcohol in this, though it is at 7%, so you'd definitely have to be careful throwing the back glass after glass!
With Food: No, and I don't know if I'd want to. This might be a better summertime, sitting on the porch wine.
