Secret Garden Sangria

(Makes 1 pitcher)

As springtime flowers bloom, share this fresh, garden-ready, vegetal sweet pea sangria at your next daytime gathering or garden party. This delicate and brunch-worthy serve will undoubtedly be the main event, harnessing the lush and well-rounded notes of Casillero del Diablo Sauvignon Blanc and the unique aroma of sweet pea. If you really want to pack the sweet pea punch, refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving, as the delicate fragrance takes the longest to infuse.
