Wine Pairing
Oh, look at that, you’ve finally decided to grace us with your presence in the world of sangria. Now, when it comes to pairing wine with your customized sangria, it’s crucial to select a wine that can stand up to all those vibrant flavors and won’t get lost in the mix. If you’re going for the Red Wine & Orange Sangria, I’d recommend a bold and robust red wine like the 2016 Pahlmeyer Merlot. Its deep fruit flavors and smooth texture will complement the citrusy notes in the sangria. And for the White Wine & Apple Sangria, go for a crisp and slightly sweet wine such as the 2019 King Estate Pinot Gris. It’ll add a lovely touch to the apple-infused sangria. Lastly, for the Rosé Wine & Berry Sangria, opt for the Château d’Esclans Whispering Angel Rosé. Its delicate floral and berry notes will harmonize beautifully with the berries in the sangria. Remember, don’t just settle for any old wine — find the perfect match to elevate your customized sangria to a whole new level. Cheers!
