Discover the captivating depth and distinctive flavour of Staropolski Blackberry Wine, a truly artisanal red fruit wine imported directly from Poland. This 750ml bottle, with a generous 14% alcohol by volume, presents a unique and indulgent European wine experience for the discerning palate in New Zealand, especially suited for the cooler winter months.
Staropolski, meaning "Old Polish," evokes a sense of historical tradition and rustic craftsmanship. This wine is not made from grapes, but exclusively from the finest, ripe blackberries, meticulously selected for their intense flavour and natural sweetness. The traditional fermentation process allows the full character of the fruit to shine through, resulting in a wine that is both rich and remarkably pure.
On the nose, Staropolski Blackberry Wine offers an incredibly potent and inviting aroma of crushed, ripe blackberries, reminiscent of homemade jam, with subtle hints of forest floor and a touch of sweet spice. The palate is wonderfully full-bodied and velvety, delivering an explosion of luscious blackberry fruit sweetness that is remarkably balanced by a natural acidity, preventing it from being cloying. The texture is smooth and coats the mouth, leading to a long, warming, and profoundly satisfying finish that leaves a memorable impression of pure fruit indulgence.
Ideally served slightly chilled at 12-14°C, or even at cool room temperature, Staropolski Blackberry Wine is a versatile and comforting companion. It excels as a dessert wine, pairing beautifully with chocolate, cheesecake, or fruit tarts. Its warming nature and rich fruit character also make it a delightful digestif to enjoy neat after a meal, especially during New Zealand's winter. It's a superb alternative for those seeking a unique, naturally sweet red wine experience that stands apart from traditional grape wines.
