Johan Jordaan's Summer Sangria

DECEMBER 09, 2016

To celebrate international Sangria Day on the 20th December, Spier senior red winemaker Johan Jordaan shares his all-natural signature recipe for this perfect summer drink.

Ingredients:

  • Spier Signature Pinotage
  • Spier Signature MCC Brut
  • Seasonal fruit (such as pineapple, pear, strawberry and other red berries, apple)
  • Honey
  • Ginger shavings

Method:

  1. Cut seasonal fruit into decent sized cubes.
  2. Add a dollop of runny honey to a bottle of Signature Pinotage.
  3. Stir to dissolve the honey.
  4. Add the fruit and ginger and place in the fridge for two hours to soak. (The ginger adds freshness without interfering with the acid or adding bitterness to the wine)
  5. Remove from fridge and in your favourite glass mix two thirds Pinotage and and 1 third MCC for sparkle.
  6. Add ice and serve. Drink in close proximity to water.
