Wash all the fruits thoroughly to ensure they are clean.
Slice the orange, lemon, lime, and green apple into thin, even slices. Remove any seeds.
In a large pitcher, combine the dry white wine, triple sec, and white port.
Add the sliced fruits, fresh mint leaves, and sugar to the pitcher. Stir gently to combine and dissolve the sugar.
Let the mixture sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, add the sparkling water to the pitcher and give it a gentle stir.
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the sangria over the ice.
Garnish each glass with additional mint leaves or a slice of citrus fruit, if desired.
