Mikado Red Plum 70cl
Picture biting into a ripe red plum, then someone turning the sweetness up and pouring it into a glass. That's the vibe. Mikado Red Plum is a soft, juicy sweet red from Ukraine that drinks more like a treat than a serious wine, with just enough tartness on the end to keep it interesting. Pour it cold after dinner, or on a quiet night when you want something easy and a little indulgent. We'll have it at your door fast, any hour.
The nose is all ripe red plum, clean and fruity, with a faint jammy depth behind it. Sip and it's properly sweet up front, plump and round, like plum compote with a whisper of dried fruit. Then a gentle tartness rolls in and tidies it all up so it never feels sticky. It finishes long and warm with a little spiced-sweet kick. Low on grippy dryness, big on fruit. Easy to love, hard to overthink.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This one comes from the sunny Odessa region in southern Ukraine, made by Global Spirits. Here's the cool part: instead of just fermenting grapes, they take natural red wine and steep it on real dried plums (plus a little black currant, cherry and apricot) to pull out that deep fruit flavour. The idea borrows from the Japanese tradition of fruit wines, which is where the Mikado name nods to. Ukrainian winemaking, Japanese inspiration, real plums in the glass.
