Tasting - Morado Sangria NV

Name: Morado Sangria NV
Variety: Red Blend
Region: N/A
Country: Spain
Year: N/A
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. - Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes

My review: Who wouldn't like this wine? Of course, it is disgustingly sweet but a few sips of this never hurt anyone. The sugar content is shocking to the palate. I 100% would prefer to have a red blend with true FRUIT in it and possibly brandy to sweeten it. This tastes artificially sweet. I'll never forget the time my mom told me about her drunken experience at the Tombs Restaurant in Georgetown where she drank a plethora of sangria and ate way too much pizza and ended the night with her head in the toilet. Yikes, Mom.
