Four Cousins Swt Red 75cl
★★★★★ 5.0 (9 reviews)You know that friend who's easy to be around, no drama, always a good time? This is that, in a glass. Four Cousins Sweet Red is soft, juicy and properly sweet, all ripe strawberry and cherry with barely any of that drying grip serious reds throw at you. It sits at a gentle 9.5%, so it's the bottle for a chilled Friday in, a movie night, or anyone who's decided big bold reds just aren't their thing. Pop it, chill it, sip it. We'll have it at your door fast, any hour.
Stick your nose in and it's a fruit basket: ripe strawberries, blackberries and dark cherry, with a little floral lift behind it. The first sip is where it wins people over. Sweet red fruit up front, soft and round, with a quiet whisper of spice and just enough acidity to stop it feeling like syrup. The tannins (the part that usually makes red wine taste 'dry' and grippy) are turned right down, so it goes down smooth and friendly. Think juicy, not heavy. Easy to love, hard to overthink.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes out of the Robertson Valley in South Africa, from the Van Loveren family. The name's literal: back in 2000, four actual cousins (Bussell, Hennie, Phillip and Neil Retief) launched the range together. It took off in a big way and Four Cousins is now South Africa's biggest-selling bottled wine brand, shipped to dozens of countries. Not bad for a family farm that's been making wine in that valley since 1937.
