✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted under the sun-drenched skies of Spain by the renowned house of Freixenet, Mia Sangria Classic Royal is a vibrant celebration of Spanish lifestyle and the bustling energy of Barcelona. Conceived by winemaker Gloria Collell, the Mia range was born from a desire to make Spanish wine heritage accessible, youthful, and joyful. This premium Sangria is crafted from a base of classic Spanish red grapes, primarily Tempranillo, which is then artfully blended with natural extracts of Mediterranean citrus fruits—such as sweet orange and tangy lemon—alongside a delicate touch of warm spices. It represents a modern, refined take on the traditional Spanish punch that has been enjoyed at festive family gatherings and lively plazas for generations.

Freixenet trace its origins to 1914 in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia through the union of two established winegrowing dynasties—the Sala and Ferrer families—following roots traced back to Casa Sala in 1861. Anchored in the Penedès depression within Catalonia, the estate harnesses a Mediterranean microclimate marked by warm, sun-drenched days, cooling maritime sea breezes, and diverse alluvial, limestone, and clay soils. Freixenet built its reputation pioneering modern temperature-controlled stainless-steel fermentation and traditional method sparkling winemaking at scale, championing the classic Catalan triumvirate of Macabeo, Xarel·lo, and Parellada alongside select international cultivars. While best known internationally for ubiquitous benchmark cuvées like the matte-black Cordon Negro and semi-seco Carta Nevada, the house also crafts refined, terroir-focused expressions such as the artisanal Casa Sala Gran Reserva Brut Nature, Elyssia Pinot Noir Brut, and Cuvée D.S., reflecting both monumental production prowess and deep cellar aging traditions.
