Last weekend I was given a taste of S'Naranja Viño Generoso de Licor. Since it was served in a frozen shot glass and had a rich, tawny color, I figured it was whiskey. However, I was immediately shocked! It wasn't hard alcohol but a delicious, syrupy wine. The pourer was kind enough to offer me a full glass to better enjoy the smooth, medium-bodied wine.
Somewhere between a sweet Sherry and an uber-orangey liquor, S'Naranja is made with two types of Spanish grapes: Palomino Fino and Pedro Ximénez. Dried orange peels are added to the wine during it's 10-year barrel-aging process. The result is a luscious wine splashed with a hint of fresh oranges and creamy, caramel-raisin undertones.
With its bright bottle and easy pairability (I would serve it with everything from salty snacks to sweet bites), this wine makes a great hostess gift.

That sounds so delicious I might have to buy it!
1I'll definitely keep an eye out the next time I'm at the wine shop!
2that's defnitely an interesting drinnk there. i'm not sure if it's necessarily something that would be to my liking but i'm always up to buying new things. i have to find a place that seves it since i think that i would feel more comfortable trying it in a glass rather than purchasing the bottle from the start.
3This sounds really good and unusual...you're right, it would be a great gift!
4that looks & sounds delicious!
