-21%Imagine biting into a ripe strawberry, but in a glass and slightly grown-up. Viña Maipo Sweet Red is soft, juicy and gently sweet, the kind of bottle you pour when you want something easy on the palate and zero fuss. Pop it in the fridge for half an hour, no decanting, no swirling lecture. At 9% it's light on its feet, so it's lovely on a slow Nairobi evening when you just want a chilled glass and good company.
First sniff and it's a basket of red fruit. Ripe strawberry and cherry up front, with a little plum and blackberry hiding behind, and the faintest whisper of flowers. The colour is bright, youthful ruby-purple. On the tongue it's soft and lush with that easy sweetness, but there's just enough freshness underneath to keep it from feeling sticky. The finish is clean, fruity and leaves you reaching for the next sip.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Viña Maipo is one of Chile's classic names, born in the Maipo Valley just south of Santiago back in 1948. It's prime red-wine country: warm sunny days to ripen the fruit, then cool nights rolling off the Andes that lock in freshness. That swing is exactly why a sweet red from here tastes ripe and juicy without turning flat or cloying.
