Castello d'Alba 2023, Douro D.O.P., Portugal: A zesty citrus-fruit core and pineapple-leaf essence shimmer over a steely, minerally foundation in this Douro white blend. Fresh herb nuances add charm.

Other Wines/Drinks
Mastronardi Estate Winery Red Sangria, Canada: This juicy, fruit-forward sangria bursts with ripe strawberry, cherry and orange zest. It’s medium-bodied, slightly sweet, with a refreshing 6.5% alcohol. Serve it well chilled with grilled shrimp skewers brushed in a citrus glaze or alongside a classic margherita pizza for a vibrant match.
Fascinating fact: Winemaker Tony Mastronardi crafts this crowd-pleaser at one of Ontario’s first family-run wineries on the North Shore, known for its sunny microclimate that ripens grapes beautifully. This sangria delivers terrific value and I’d rate it 90 points. Drink: 2025 - 2026 261347 6.5% S 750 mL $11.95 Score: 90/100. August 2025. Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
