If you've ever found dry reds a bit much, this is your in. Birds & Bees Sweet Red is a sweet Argentine Malbec that drinks like ripe berries straight off the vine. Soft, juicy, hardly any of that mouth-drying grip. It's the bottle for a chilled Friday in, a movie, or that mate who swears they 'don't like red wine.' Give it twenty minutes in the fridge first and watch them change their mind.
Pop the cork and you get ripe strawberry, dark cherry and plum, with a little floral lift behind it. On the tongue it's plush and rounded. Think juicy blackberry and raspberry, a touch of jam, and a smooth sweetness that rolls right through to a soft finish. Barely any tannin, so nothing scratchy or bitter. It's red wine with the rough edges sanded off.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
It's made by Trivento in Mendoza, the high-desert heart of Argentine wine, tucked up against the Andes. Trivento's name nods to the winds that sweep those vineyards, and the region is basically Malbec's spiritual home. Sun-drenched days and cool mountain nights ripen the grapes to that deep, fruity sweetness. This is their playful, easygoing take, made to be poured without ceremony.
