A Sunday Spritzer

Wanted something not boozy for today. Have some really nice white wine open but didn't want that straight either, so this is a sort of sangria, sort of spritz.
3 oz mixed citrus, mostly grapefruit, some orange some lemon.
2oz Aperol
4 oz Chateau Guiraud 2022 Bordeaux (mostly Sauvignon Blanc, it's really good)
3 oz Topo Chico sparkling mineral water
Poured over frozen cantaloupe and a little ice.
It's good and just what I wanted. I'd never actually had an Aperol Spritz before, was at a bar this weekend and there were ladies demoing it (not the canned one) and I'd never tasted Aperol as bitter - in mixed drinks I can't tell, it's just sweet & citrus, but in the wine it did shine and was bitter. And this drink is just right in the same way, but lighter.

Why didn't you just say sparkling water? I thought topo chico must be some exotic ingredient or something
