Our proprietary blend of JOLO barrel aged wine, citrus and fruit juice is summer in a bottle!

After traveling to Spain and coming across the best Sangria of our lives we secured the recipe after ample coaxing.  This is a proprietary blend of JOLO barrel aged wine, citrus and fruit juices.  Our Tasting Lodge guests have been pleading with us to bottle it since we made our first glass.  Here it is!  It is rich and complex and on the upper end of Sangrias bursting with cherry, plum, citrus and mocha enhanced by a slight fizz.  Enjoy on the beach or with your favorite summer food.

The 2019 growing season here in Pilot Mountain was marked by very little rainfall, warm sunny days with a constant breeze flowing through the vineyards. This crisp, clean, well balanced and refreshing wine is layered with vibrant aromas of cranberry, strawberry and a citrus zest. On the finish, hints of red berries dance on the palate ending with a twinkle of citrus and minerals. This is a very enjoyable sparkling wine alone but also pairs well with shellfish, caviar, seafood, chicken, roasted pork, pate and eggs. This sparkling wine should be consumed within the next four to five years to savor the balance of fruit and acidity.
