Pour this when you want pink, fruity and zero fuss. Mara Tamu Rosé is all ripe strawberry and a little citrus lift, soft and gentle at 8%, so you can keep the glass topped up through a long evening. It's the bottle for a balcony sundowner, a chilled girls' night, or the easy first drink before anyone's hungry for nyama choma. And here's the kicker: every bottle wears a beaded amulet hand-strung by Kenyan women, so the wine's already done a good deed before you've poured it.
Nose first: fresh strawberries, a hint of watermelon, a squeeze of citrus on top. On the palate it's light, fruity and smooth, with just enough acidity to keep it lively rather than sticky. 'Tamu' means sweet in Swahili and it leans that way, a soft fruity sweetness rather than bone-dry, finishing clean and gentle. Easy company, no hard edges.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
The wine itself is South African, made for the Kenyan market, soft and fruity by design. The real story is what's tied around the neck. Each bottle carries a beaded amulet, hand-made by groups of women in remote Kenyan villages who gather to string the beads, often singing as they work. Proceeds go straight back to them, funding food, school fees and their own small businesses. So Mara isn't just a rosé with a pretty bottle. It's a glass that quietly backs women's independence with every pour.
