Don Simón sangria is made the old fashioned way. Made with all natural 100% fruit, a blend of Spain’s noble grape and Tempranillo wines. Then enhanced with sugar, citrus and natural fruit extracts to create a rich, sweet and fruity balance.
Raise your glass and embrace the journey of sangria.
The history of sangria goes back to over 2,000 years ago, the romans made their way across the Iberian Peninsula and planted vineyards along the way. As water at the time was unsafe for drinking, it was common to fortify it with alcohol to kill the bacteria.
The first sangias were likely heavily watered-down mixtures of wine, herbs and spices. The name of the drink comes from the spanish word “sangre” which means blood, and refers to its dark ruby red color.
Spaniards introduced some version of sangria to the Americas in the early 1800s. Since then, Americans have been quick to embrace the spanish cocktail.
