What is "Mint-Scented White Sangria"?
"Mint-Scented White Sangria" is a summer-exclusive white sangria developed to achieve an overwhelming refreshing sensation. It blends white wine with mint tea and three types of domestic citrus fruits. Designed to prioritize the invigorating sensation derived from mint tea and the crispness characteristic of wine, rather than the traditional sweetness of sangria.
Charms of "Mint-Scented White Sangria"
① Juicy fruit flavor that colors summer, woven by three types of citrus
We carefully selected and used three types of citrus: sweet Wakayama mandarin oranges as a base, tart domestic yuzu, and pleasantly bitter Wakayama jabara. By blending these in a unique ratio, we achieved a profound flavor profile that harmonizes sweetness, acidity, and bitterness, transcending mere fruit liquor. It features a juicy mouthfeel with a pulpy texture.
② Refreshing sensation created by extracted mint
We adopted a method of carefully extracting flavor components from mint tea leaves using white wine. Instead of a menthol-like stimulus, we captured the fruity aroma of mint as a herb. The refreshing scent that passes through the nose with every sip cools the body from within. It is formulated to maintain its aroma even when ice is added.
③ Crispness and structural backbone of flavor created by white wine
The base white wine is a blend of Chardonnay, known for its firm acidity, and Sauvignon Blanc, characterized by its crispness. We aimed to reduce the characteristic sweetness of sangria while balancing the richness of wine and a clean aftertaste. It pairs well with meals and forms a robust structure enjoyable on the rocks or straight.
