Pour this cold and you get a glass that tastes like ripe pineapple and peach with a squeeze of lemon to keep it honest. It is dry, so no sugary aftertaste, just bright fruit and a soft creamy finish that makes it dangerously easy to pour a second round. Grab it for a Friday with friends, a fish dinner, or just a hot Nairobi evening when you want something that goes down smooth. Order it now and we will have it at your door, chilled plans included.
First sniff is all sunshine fruit. Ripe pineapple, a bit of peach and white flowers, with citrus and grapefruit cutting through so it never feels heavy. On the tongue it is round and juicy with that same tropical-and-lemon thing going on, then a gentle creamy note rolls in at the end. That softness comes from a small splash of oak ageing, not sugar, so it finishes clean and dry. Fresh, balanced, very moreish.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
El Emperador comes out of Chile's Central Valley, where the vines sit at the foot of the Andes on a mix of sandy, clay-limestone and stony soils. The grapes are picked ripe, then fermented cool and slow over about a week to lock in all that fruit. The clever bit is that around a fifth of the wine spends time in oak barrels, which is where the soft creamy edge comes from without weighing it down. It is made by Sebastián Astaburuaga y Compañía, a name that has been turning out honest, easy-to-love Chilean wine for years.
