Pour this and you get a glassful of ripe summer fruit. Caprice Sweet Red is soft, sweet and unapologetically fruity, the kind of red that doesn't ask you to think too hard. No bitter grip, no homework. Just strawberries, plum and a little spice going down easy. Perfect for a slow Friday in, a sweet tooth that wants wine, or anyone who's decided dry reds are overrated. And it's a full litre, so you're sorted for the whole night.
First sniff is all fresh berries: strawberries, raspberries, a bit of plum, with a faint floral lift like violets in the background. On the tongue it's smooth and lush, properly sweet, leaning on ripe red and dark berry fruit with the lightest touch of spice. The acidity is gentle, so nothing puckers or fights you. It finishes soft and clean and leaves you reaching for the next sip. Think jammy and rounded rather than sharp.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Caprice is a South African sweet red, built from well-ripened red grapes in the Spanish-leaning style, think Grenache, Carignan and Tempranillo, which is exactly where all that jammy berry sweetness comes from. In Kenya it's brought in and distributed by Kenya Wine Agencies (KWAL), which is why you'll spot it on shelves all over Nairobi. It's a crowd-pleaser by design: easy, sweet and made to share rather than to overthink.
