Red Sangria

A lighter red with bright acid and soft tannins is perfect for Sangria. Rioja  has  been a go to wine but you might want to look for something even fruitier, like an inexpensive Grenache. I like to keep my Sangria very simple with no brandy or added sugar. Simply pile in the fruit and let it steep overnight to allow the flavors to blend

For each bottle of wine you'll need:

2 medium oranges, washed, halved and thinly sliced
1 large peach or even better 2 nectarines , washed, pitted and diced
1 cup of strawberries, sliced
1 lime washed, halved and thinly sliced
