Production & Heritage

Clapback is a brand producing flavored fruit wines at an elevated 18% ABV, sourced from Moldova — a country with a long winemaking tradition stretching back thousands of years, thanks to its fertile soils and continental climate. Slept on Strawberry is part of a lineup that includes several bold fruit-forward expressions. The wine-based formulation undergoes a process that results in a sweet, high-strength finished product designed for immediate consumption without additional mixing.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Ripe strawberries dominate the nose, followed by layers of spun sugar and a jammy, almost preserves-like sweetness. There is a subtle warmth underneath that hints at the wine's higher alcohol backbone.

Taste: The palate opens with candied strawberry that is immediately sweet and fruit-forward. A mid-palate shift introduces smooth vanilla-like accents and a gentle wine-like depth that adds dimension beyond simple confectionery sweetness. The body is medium to full, with a syrupy texture that coats the tongue.

Finish: Warm and velvety, with lingering notes reminiscent of strawberry shortcake. A light tartness emerges at the very end, balancing the residual sugar and keeping the sweetness from becoming cloying.

How to Drink Slept on Strawberry

Slept on Strawberry drinks well chilled straight from the bottle or poured over ice, which tempers the sweetness and opens up the fruit character. Its bold strawberry profile and higher ABV also make it a capable cocktail ingredient. A Strawberry Spritz — topped with soda water and a lemon wheel — makes a refreshing warm-weather serve. A Berry Sangria uses this as a potent, pre-flavored base that reduces the need for added sweeteners. A Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri riff works well by blending it with ice and fresh lime juice, where the wine's sweetness stands in for simple syrup.

• Casual gatherings where a large-format, ready-to-drink option keeps things simple
• Sweet-wine drinkers exploring higher-ABV fruit wine alternatives
• Summer cookouts and outdoor parties that call for chilled, fruit-driven sipping

Why Slept on Strawberry?

What distinguishes this expression in the crowded flavored wine category is the combination of its 18% ABV and a full one-liter bottle — a pairing that few direct competitors match.
