 Detailed Description

Viva La Roja

Heart of the Desert Viva La Roja is a full-bodied blend of Zinfandel, Merlot, and Muscat grapes. This rich dinner wine is sweet and fruity, with notes of dark cherry, pomegranate, and strawberry, balanced by floral notes from the Muscat grapes. This particular flavor profile makes this red an effective cooling complement to spicy foods. Heart of the Desert Viva La Roja is delicious on its own, but it also makes a great sangria or wine slushie due to its natural sweetness. It’s low in tannins, so its texture doesn’t linger on your tongue like some reds can. Because of this, it works well with cream sauces and buttery dishes as it doesn’t clash with their fatty textures. We prefer serving this wine slightly chilled, but many folks also enjoy it at room temperature.

Winner of a Gold Medal and Best in Class at the 2023 New Mexico State Fair
Favorite of Heart of the Desert owner and founder, Marianne Schweers

Perfect Sweet Red Wine 2/10/2022
Viva La Roja is a wonderful sweet red wine. It is not overpowering like a dessert wine, but just the right blend of fruit with an after taste of oak to make it perfect for dinner or sipping around the fire pit.

Perfect Flavor 11/10/2021
My husband and I did some wine tasting while in Ruidoso. Tasted Viva La Roja and instantly fell in love. I love a sweet but not sugary tasting wine. Very much a fruity, sweet red wine. I absolutely love this wine and wish they sold it close to where I live!

My sister received a bottle for her 50th birthday. She is not a wine drinker. She gave it to me and I love this wine. I have given it as gifts as well as keeping some for me.
