This is a cheap, $16 wine which I had every intention to convert into Sangria. After tasting it on its own, I realised that it wasn’t so bad. It had a hint of nuts but was still rather acidic. The sangria that I made out of it, was superb.

For dessert, I had some of that sangria with a plate of organic dried apricots. Notice the dark colour. Most dried apricots have been treated with sulphur dioxide to make them look a more pleasing orange. I prefer my dried apricots without the acrid taste.

A nice, healthy dessert you can enjoy at home. Try it.

I thought it was a steal. A bottle of this French wine for $17. But trust me, it’s quite yucky. Definitely sangria material. Go get your oranges if you decide to buy this wine.
