Pour this and the glass goes a soft, pretty pink. First sniff is a handful of ripe strawberries and raspberries with a little floral lift. Then it lands sweet and juicy, the kind of wine you want cold on a warm Nairobi evening when you're not in the mood to think too hard about it. Made from Cabernet Sauvignon but light on its feet, this is your fruity, fuss-free crowd-pleaser.
It smells like a punnet of fresh strawberries and raspberries with a faint flowery note behind it. Sip and it's properly sweet and fruity, all that red berry juice up front, with just enough freshness underneath to stop it feeling heavy. Soft, round, and easy to keep coming back to. No oak, no grip, nothing serious going on, just ripe fruit and a smooth finish.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Asconi, a family winery in the little village of Puhoi, about 25km south of Chisinau in Moldova. They've been at it since 1994 and now plant over 500 hectares of vines, turning out millions of bottles a year while leaning on old Moldovan tradition mixed with modern European kit. Moldova is one of the oldest wine countries on the planet, and sweet, fruit-forward reds and rosés like this are very much its comfort zone.
