Festive Mulled Red Wine

Mulled wine is the perfect feature for your holiday party or even just a cozy night at home. It blends the warm comfort of spices with the fruity profile of a good red wine. It's especially comforting on a cold night and it fills your home with such an amazing fragrance.

Burklee Hill Mulled Wine

Ingredients

  • 1 bottle Burklee Hill Vineyards GSM (or your favorite red wine)

  • 1 cup brandy

  • 1/2 cup pomegranate juice

  • 1/2 cup cranberry juice

  • 2 large oranges sliced

  • 1/2 cup cranberries

  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds

  • 4 cinnamon sticks

  • 1 tsp. cloves

  • 4 whole star anise

We thought the Burklee Hill GSM, a blend of Granache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, would be the perfect balance of fruit and earth notes. This GSM reminds us of jam in the best way. It's rich, fruity and has a hint of spice that makes it a nice choice for mulled wine. You can also choose our Cabernet Sauvignon or any of our red wines, as well. Instead of the above spices, you can also incorporate 3 tablespoons of pre-made mulling spices. I still love throwing in a few cinnamon sticks and star anise are simply so pretty for garnishing as well.
