Destileria Limtuaco Unveils Maria Clara Sparkling Sangria
June 10, 2025 marked a new milestone for the Philippines’ oldest distillery, Destileria Limtuaco & Co., Inc., as they launched Maria Clara Sparkling Sangria in a lively and elegant gathering at Azadore Restaurant, Sacred Heart, Quezon City.
The event brought together media, partners, and brand supporters to witness the evolution of an icon. Inspired by Maria Clara—a symbol of Filipina beauty and resilience—the sangria has been a mainstay of Filipino celebrations since its debut in 1985. Known for its sweet, citrus-laced red wine flavor, the drink has accompanied countless joyful moments across generations.
Now, in a bid to resonate with younger, on-the-go lifestyles, the brand has introduced a new sparkling version with 7% alcohol, served in a convenient 330ml aluminum can. It’s light, lively, and undeniably festive—ready to enjoy straight from the fridge, over ice, or right out of the can.
Tradition and Innovation
The launch event echoed this blend of tradition and innovation, pairing the new sangria with curated food and dynamic energy. It also highlighted Maria Clara Sangria’s expanding legacy, from the original red wine classic to the non-alcoholic Virgin Sangria and the halal-certified Maria Clara Punch—pioneering inclusivity in the industry.
Furthermore, for Destileria Limtuaco, this launch wasn’t just about introducing a new product. It was about continuing a narrative of Filipino pride, craftsmanship, and adaptability. From White Castle Whisky to El Hombre Tequila Flavored Spirit and Napoleon VSOP Brandy, their portfolio showcases a deep commitment to both tradition and progress.
Maria Clara Sparkling Sangria is now available exclusively at 7-Eleven stores nationwide, ushering in a new era for a brand that celebrates Filipino joy in every pour.
Raise your can—this is heritage reimagined.
