Mangria White Peach Sangria

Description

Mangria White Peach Sangria is a fortified California sangria blending white peach and pear flavors at a bold 19% ABV in a 750ml bottle. Created by radio and podcast personality Adam Carolla through Carolla Drinks, this expression stands apart from conventional sangrias by nearly doubling the typical alcohol content through a grape-spirit fortification technique that gives it uncommon body and warmth.

Quick Facts: ABV: 19% | Origin: California, USA | Style: Fortified Fruit Sangria | Producer: Mangria, Inc. (Carolla Drinks)

Production & Heritage

Mangria was launched by Adam Carolla as a ready-to-drink sangria line built around a distinctive fortification approach. The base begins with California wine, which is then blended with grape-based hard alcohol similar in character to grappa, along with natural fruit juices and flavoring. This fortification process pushes the ABV to 19% significantly higher than standard sangrias, which typically land between 7% and 12%. The White Peach expression pairs peach and pear fruit profiles with this fortified wine base, producing something closer in weight and warmth to a fortified wine than a traditional light sangria.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Bright honeysuckle flowers lead the nose, followed by ripe white peach and a subtle pear sweetness. There is a light floral quality that keeps the bouquet inviting despite the higher alcohol.

Taste: The entry is fruit-forward with peach, apricot, and soft apple tones that land on the mid-palate with medium body. The grape-spirit backbone provides noticeable warmth and structure, giving it a texture that recalls a full-bodied Pinot Grigio more than a typical chilled sangria. Sweetness is present but not cloying, balanced by the spirit’s dry edge.

Finish: Clean and nectar-like, with lingering stone fruit and a warm, sweet glow from the elevated alcohol. The finish is moderate in length, tapering with gentle peach and honeysuckle echoes.

How to Drink White Peach Mangria

White Peach Spritz: Top with club soda and a lemon wheel for a lighter, effervescent serve that tames the sweetness. Bellini Twist: Use in place of Prosecco in a Bellini-style pour with fresh peach pure the higher ABV adds real backbone. Sangria Punch Bowl: Combine with sliced stone fruits, fresh mint, and sparkling water for a ready-made party punch that needs no additional spirits.
