Pour this ice-cold and it tastes like ripe passion fruit got friendly with a glass of sweet white wine. Soft, juicy, a little honeyed, the kind of glass that disappears too fast while you're laughing on the balcony. It's semi-sweet but at 16% it carries real weight, so it's a treat-yourself sipper, not a chug. Dessert in a bottle, basically, and we'll have it at your door tonight.
The nose hits you first: ripe passion fruit, sun-warmed grape, a lick of honey. On the palate it's silky and sweet but not cloying, because a streak of bright acidity keeps it lively and clean. Think tropical fruit syrup smoothed out by proper wine, finishing clean instead of sticky. Easy to love, even if wine usually isn't your thing.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Asconi, a family winery in the village of Puhoi, about 35km south of Chisinau in Moldova's Codru hills. Moldova has been making wine for centuries and is quietly one of Europe's biggest producers, and Asconi has been at it since 1994, running over 500 hectares of vines. Tropical Passion sits in their fun, fruit-forward dessert line: real grape wine infused with passion fruit. Serious roots, playful glass.
