4th Street Sweet Red 1.5L
Pour this lightly chilled and it tastes like someone bottled a bowl of ripe strawberries and raspberries. Soft, sweet, juicy, and gentle at 8%, so it's the bottle you open when the evening's about laughing with your people, not swirling and sniffing. It's a 1.5 litre too, which means it's built for sharing. Crack it for a nyama choma Sunday, a movie night, or that random Tuesday that turned into a vibe.
The nose is all bright red fruit. Cherries and fresh raspberries up front, with a little whisper of cinnamon and clove sitting behind them. First sip and the sweetness hits like crushed strawberries and raspberry, full and fruity but never sticky, because a clean streak of acidity keeps it lively and stops it feeling like syrup. It finishes smooth and easy, low on that drying grip you get from big serious reds, so it just glides. If you usually find red wine too harsh, this is the one that changes your mind.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
4th Street is one of South Africa's most-loved wine brands, made down in the Western Cape. The grapes get picked at peak ripeness in February and March, then here's the clever bit: instead of fermenting everything dry, they blend the light fruity wine back with fresh, sweet preserved grape juice. That's where the natural, fresh sweetness comes from, and why it stays so easygoing rather than boozy. It blew up across Africa for exactly that reason. It's friendly, it's fruity, and it doesn't ask you to overthink it.
