Pop this when you want a red that hugs you back. It's properly sweet, full of squashed dark berries, and so soft it goes down like juice for grown-ups. Perfect for the friend who swears they hate wine, or for you on a slow night when a dry red feels like too much homework. Give it 20 minutes in the fridge and it's exactly right.
The nose is all ripe plum and red berries, with a little whisper of mocha hiding behind. First sip is sweet and round, blackberry and jammy dark fruit coating your tongue, and the tannins (the grippy, drying part of red wine) are turned right down so nothing scratches. It finishes smooth and gently sweet, no bitterness, no fuss. Easy company.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Dragon's Back comes out of the Western Cape in South Africa, made by the Flagstone crew, who took their name and feel from the country's big mountain country. It's their easygoing, crowd-pleasing sweet red, the bottle you open when the room is mixed and you just want everyone happy. No pretence, just ripe Cape fruit turned into something gentle and moreish.
