Tasting - Morada Sangria



This sangria from Morada, in Spain was a decent version of the Sangria. When I was in Spain last summer we tried a lot of different sangrias, and this did remind me of a few of them. The shop's description was the following: 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. That last sentence says a lot. I thought this was too sweet for me. I tasted a lot of citrus, and reminded me a lot of Orangina. I thought the aftertaste tasted extremely similar to Froot Loops too, just overall really sweet. I would probably cut this with some additional red wine to make it less sweet. There was no vintage on it, but it was $4.95 at The Vintage Cellar.
