-6%You know that craving for something deep red, sweet and fruity that doesn't need you to think too hard? This is it. Mikado pours a rich, glossy red and tastes like ripe cherries straight off the tree, soft, jammy and properly sweet. Chill it down, pour a glass, and let it carry the evening. Order now and we'll have it at your door before your playlist runs out.
First whiff is pure cherry, ripe and almost compote-like, with a fruity sweetness that pulls you straight in. On the palate it's smooth and medium-bodied, sweet up front with juicy cherry leading the way and little hints of plum and blackcurrant tucked behind it. There's just enough tartness in the finish to stop it feeling syrupy, so it stays moreish rather than cloying. Easy, generous, and unmistakably cherry.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Mikado comes from the south of Ukraine, in the sun-warmed Odessa region, made by Global Spirits. The trick behind it is genuinely cool: instead of just flavouring, they take a natural grape wine and infuse it on real dried cherries, a method borrowed from the old Japanese tradition of fruit wines. That slow infusion is why the cherry tastes like actual fruit and not sweet syrup. The same house does plum and apricot versions too, but cherry is the one that gets remembered.
