Hot July days and cold beverages make great companions and we can’t think of a better to way to quench our thirst than with sangria. Not just any sangria, a sangria with our own estate grown Tempranillo as the star of the show.
Sangria is a simple and delicious way to serve a large gathering of friends and to save time, you can whip this up and chill the night before.
Remember to wash your citrus before juicing, as the rinds will be used in your beverage and grab and extra orange and lemon to slice and add before serving.
If you are using a carbonated beverage for ‘bubbles’, add only just before serving. As always, enjoy!
