Ever stumbled upon a wine that makes you wonder why you hadn’t discovered it sooner? That’s exactly what happened when I uncorked the Tarongino Frizzante with Valencia Oranges from Trader Joe’s.
This Spanish treasure proves that wine innovation doesn’t need to abandon tradition. Built on a foundation of Muscat de Alexandria—one of the world’s oldest grape varieties, dating back thousands of years—this lightly sparkling wine offers something genuinely unique. The winemakers have thoughtfully infused it with juice from Valencia oranges, creating a beautiful orange-hued beverage that drinks like a sophisticated, ready-made mimosa but with more character and balance than you might expect.
What truly sets this wine apart is its remarkable restraint. At just 7% alcohol and a mere 51 calories per glass, it’s designed for those leisurely afternoons when you want to sip something delightful without worry. The bubbles are gentle (frizzante means it has less carbonation than Prosecco or Champagne), and the sweetness is surprisingly balanced—neither the Muscat nor the orange dominates the experience. Produced by a cooperative of small vineyard owners near Valencia, this $12.99 bottle represents authentic Spanish winemaking tradition with a modern, accessible twist.
Whether you’re hosting brunch, looking for a porch sipper, or simply want something refreshing and different, make sure to serve this wine well-chilled—perhaps even in an ice bucket to maintain that ideal temperature. Have you tried any fruit-infused wines that surprised you? Share your experience and let us know if you grab a bottle of this orange delight!

Hey
,
welcome
,
it's
Domain
Dave
.
Cheapwinefindercom
again
with
another
wine
,
kind
of
an
unusual
wine
,
let's
see
.
It's
$12.99
.
I
think
Trader
Joe's
has
the
US
rights
for
it
,
though
it's
a
wine
from
Spain
that
is
available
in
other
countries
,
I
believe
is
the
Terengino
Frisante
with
Valencia
oranges
.
What
that
all
means
is
this
is
a
bubbly
that
they
added
orange
juice
to
from
Valencia
.
They
actually
told
you
what
the
vineyard
owner
was
and
this
is
from
a
co-op
in
Valencia
,
around
Valencia
,
spain
owner
was
.
And
this
is
from
a
co-op
in
Valencia
,
around
Valencia
,
spain
.
Speaker 1
0:45
Uh
,
the
grape
is
,
uh
,
muscat
de
Alexandria
,
which
is
one
of
the
oldest
grapes
around
.
It's
been
this
way
for
thousand
or
two
,
maybe
more
years
.
It's
one
of
the
um
,
it's
one
of
the
main
grapes
that
have
never
been
messed
with
,
so
it's
usually
a
dessert
wine
.
It's
got
a
little
sweetness
to
it
and
this
wine
is
more
along
the
lines
of
a
mimosa
,
one
of
those
things
where
that's
a
Prosecco
that
they
put
beach
beret
in
.
This
is
just
a
frizzante
.
Frizzante
is
like
Low Alcohol and Calorie Content
Speaker 1
1:27
the
lowest
level
of
bubbles
of
all
the
sparkling
wines
.
They
measure
how
much
atmosphere
is
in
the
bottle
and
that
kind
of
informs
you
about
the
bubbles
and
Champagne's
.
Like
six
atmospheres
and
Prosecco
might
be
three
,
three
and
a
half
.
Well
,
this
is
one
,
maybe
two
.
So
it's
very
lightly
bubbled
.
It
actually
has
a
screw
cap
but
doesn't
have
a
you
know
cork
or
anything
.
You
don't
need
it
,
and
the
bubbles
are
not
that
pronounced
.
Let
me
pour
a
little
in
my
glass
.
Yeah
,
they
don't
.
They're
nice
,
fine
bubbles
,
but
they're
not
gonna
.
Yeah
,
they
look
good
.
It
looks
good
.
It
actually
is
um
orange
.
I
mean
it's
a
um
,
it
doesn't
.
I
mean
it
looks
like
a
orange
popsicle
in
color
,
but
it's
pretty
.
It
would
be
a
great
halloween
wine
because
it's
kind
of
has
the
orange
and
black
thing
going
.
There's
no
black
black
and
it
tastes
good
.
Speaker 1
2:28
It's
7%
alcohol
,
which
is
very
low
alcohol
for
these
things
,
and
on
the
back
label
it
actually
has
nutritional
facts
and
it's
51
calories
per
glass
.
So
not
only
is
it
low
alcohol
,
it's
low
calorie
too
.
And
while
I
would
imagine
,
since
Muscat
d'Alexandria
is
a
dessert
wine
and
a
sweeter
wine
and
oranges
aren't
necessarily
sweet
but
they're
ripe
,
they
have
that
nectar
from
the
Spanish Wine Co-op Background
Speaker 1
3:04
juice
sweetness
.
You
know
,
they
have
that
nectar
from
the
juice
sweetness
.
So
while
this
is
probably
on
the
sweet
side
,
though
the
calories
tell
you
it's
not
too
sweet
,
it
doesn't
taste
that
sweet
.
You
don't
get
that
sugary
thing
going
on
.
I'm
gonna
take
another
sip
.
It
doesn't
overplay
anything
.
It
doesn't
overplay
the
Valencia
Oranges
.
It
doesn't
overplay
play
the
musket
bubbly
.
It
kind
of
is
balanced
.
Speaker 1
3:38
I
wrote
in
the
review
that
this
is
the
summer
sipper
that
you
didn't
know
you
needed
$12.99
,
who
knows
if
they
,
with
the
tariffs
and
everything
,
if
this
price
will
go
up
,
or
can
they
even
get
it
again
after
a
while
.
But
this
is
not
a
bad
wine
.
And
at
$12.99
,
it
also
tells
you
that
this
isn't
a
throwaway
,
inexpensive
wine
.
That's
a
solid
price
for
a
wine
of
this
nature
.
Like
I
said
,
they
name
where
the
oranges
come
from
.
This
isn't
a
throwaway
.
Speaker 1

The
winery
is
a
co-op
.
A
co-op
is
a
group
of
independent
um
vineyard
owners
,
small
ones
usually
.
They
might
have
,
they
might
do
,
they
might
grow
more
than
just
grapes
.
You
have
other
things
and
they
band
together
and
sometimes
a
hundred
or
more
,
and
they
pull
their
money
and
they
build
a
winery
and
they
hire
a
winemaker
and
then
they
have
the
volume
to
start
competing
with
wines
.
And
this
is
one
of
their
wines
and
this
is
very
Spanish
.
Speaker 1
4:49
I
mean
,
you
know
,
sangria
is
the
white
wine
that
they
dump
the
oranges
and
all
of
the
spices
in
there
and
they
like
to
have
the
fruit
in
their
wine
and
it's
fun
and
it
drinks
well
.
And
this
one's
fun
and
it
drinks
well
too
.
Plus
,
it's
orange
and
it's
Final Thoughts and Serving Tips
Speaker 1
5:09
low-cal
,
it's
low
alcohol
.
I
mean
you
can
sip
this
all
day
,
you
know
,
like
the
old
days
in
Europe
where
you
would
go
to
the
center
of
the
city
and
sit
at
a
cafe
and
just
laze
the
day
away
sipping
on
wine
and
talking
and
people
watching
.
Well
,
this
is
one
of
those
wines
you
could
do
it
to
.
At
7%
alcohol
,
you're
not
really
going
to
overdo
it
.
With
not
that
much
sugar
involved
,
you're
going
to
be
okay
with
it
.
I
liked
it
.
I'm
going
to
take
another
sip
and
we're
going
to
close
this
up
.
There
you
go
.
It's
the
1299
Trader
Joe's
wine
.
I
don't
think
it's
available
anywhere
else
.
Speaker 1
5:53
Tarantino
Frasante
with
Valencia
oranges
.
It's
a
bubbly
of
Muscat
d'Axandria
infused
with
quality
oranges
.
What
else
can
you
ask
for
?
It
sips
great
.
It
is
a
nice
drink
.
Make
sure
it's
chilled
.
If
you're
going
to
eat
it
,
have
a
drink
it
.
Get
a
ice
bucket
so
you
can
keep
it
cold
.
The
colder
the
better
.
This
wine's
made
to
be
chilled
.
So
there
you
go
.
It's
a
strange
one
,
something
I
really
haven't
had
too
much
association
with
.
But
mimosas
are
just
fine
too
.
It
works
,
it
tastes
great
and
you
can
enjoy
.
So
,
adios
,
keep
it
cheap
,
bye-bye
.
