It’s going to be a Gria summer!
Sangria spritz. Need we say more?
Fun, fresh and delightfully unique, new wine brand Gria is vibrant, fizzy and damn delicious, bursting with sunshine and good times.
Gria is a delicious reinvention of classic sangria, blending premium Victorian wines with a vibrant spritz and innovative flavours to deliver the essence of sangria’s fruit and spice in a refreshingly light drink.
There’s Red Gria and White Gria to cover every occasion.
Though fabulously fun and easygoing, Gria also comes with some serious winemaking smarts.
Lauded winemaker-cum-chocolatier Peter Wilson has applied his alchemic smarts and prized palate to create these innovative, lip-smackingly tasty tipples.
Wilson is a highly regarded winemaker and wine judge who has produced countless award-winning wines for Whitebox Wines and the iconic Yarra Yering. He turned his remarkable gift for blending exquisite flavours to the art of chocolate in the 1990s when he co-founded the acclaimed Kennedy & Wilson chocolaterie.
Peter’s children Jeremy and Philippa Kennedy-Wilson continue the family’s chocolate-making legacy today.In Gria they pair their time-honed ability to craft fun and delicious flavours with Peter’s winemaking prowess.
Jeremy says Gria marks an exciting new chapter for The Cocoa Group.
“Creating Gria has been a thrilling journey for the team that brings together the best of our passion and experience in crafting innovative flavours and creating new products,” he says.
“Needless to say, Gria is going to make this summer exceptional. We’re thrilled to launch this vibrant, fizzy, and delicious new wine brand and can’t wait to share it with Australia.”
Gria is best enjoyed with friends in the sun, straight from the fridge or served long over ice with a fruit slice.
