What is the best way to serve Soleil Mimosa?
As an effervescent beverage, do not shake this wine before opening!  Rather, gently and slowly rotate the bottle back and forth a few times to blend before opening. Serve cold (40°F). Traditionally it is served on it's own, but you can also use it as a mixer, or in recipes, such as a Mango Lassi Cocktail or Tomato and Nectarine Salad. With the addition of our canned Soleil Mimosa varieties, you can take a mimosa with you just about anywhere to serve with just about anything!

Aren't mimosas just for brunch?
Absolutely not! We've known for some time that mimosas are perfect for anytime of day and for any occasion. They are fruity and fresh and easy-to-enjoy anywhere, from a formal bridal shower to a late-night bonfire or afternoon tailgate. You'd actually be hard pressed to find a situation where Soleil Mimosa couldn't be the adult beverage of choice.

What if there are particles in my Soleil Mimosa?
Due to the natural, fresh-squeezed juice used in the production of our Soleil Mimosa wines, natural pulp or sediment may be visible. It's completely natural and expected that the product would settle since we don't use any artificial emulsifiers. We recommend a gentle turning of the bottle or can to ensure the fresh fruit is well-blended prior to opening.

 What is the shelf life of Soleil Mimosa?
Soleil Mimosa is made fresh to be enjoyed immediately, although, unopened Soleil Mimosa is guaranteed with a shelf life of 24 months. After enjoying a partial bottle, enclose it with a specialty wine stopper, refrigerate well, and consume within several days. Another option may be to try our new 375ml Soleil Mimosa wine in a can, which is portioned in 12.6 ounces per can.

Why is Soleil Mimosa better than other mimosas?
We have over 30 years of experience in producing Soleil Mimosa, it remains the best-selling pre-mixed mimosa produced in the U.S. today. Soleil Mimosa compares favorably to other mimosas prepared at home or restaurants, because our winery tightly controls the blending process and uses only top-quality, fresh-squeezed juice (not from concentrate) for a consistently perfect mimosa, every time! Our canned Soleil Mimosas are also more portable than carrying the ingredients (not to mention a bartender) around with you!

What is in a mimosa?
Traditionally, it's orange juice mixed with sparkling wine or champagne. We took it a step further by using the freshest (not from concentrate) orange, mango, pineapple and pomegranate juices blended with delicious white wine and a slight touch of sparkle. We never use any artificial flavors or colors and never compromise quality for the sake of cost like most fruit-flavored 'wines' you see on the store shelve. This results in our excellent quality mimosas that are unmatched by any other mimosa on the market, past or present.
