THE WORLD OF WINES
CASILLERO DEL DIABLO CHILE More than 135 years ago, Don Melchor de Concha y Toro stored his best wines in a cellar, behind a wrought iron locked gate. After noticing wine being stolen from the cellar, Don Melchor de Concha y Toro spread a rumour that the devil lived there. From that day on no other bottles disappeared. Decades later the story was captured by Casillero del Diablo, a Cabernet Sauvignon launched in the 60s with its first 1966 vintage. The wine is an intense ruby red and hints of rich fruit like plums and cherries. The barrel ageing length lent to its toast and coffee notes

LELESHWA ROSE - KENYA ST. JOHN’S ROAD BAROSSA VALLEY, BLOOD AND COURAGE SHIRAZ 2016 - AUSTRALIA This classic Barossa Shiraz is a great illustration of teamwork by combining ripe, rich fruit from the vineyard with balanced oak integration and skilful winemaking. This Shiraz is opaque crimson red with redbrick hues and has lifted red fruit aromatics with a hint of sweet spice and cherry pastilles aromas. The palate is rich and densely flavoured with bright, expressive red fruit notes and wisps of toasted vanilla.
This salmon-coloured Rose is from the Great Rift Valley, is semi-sweet and has a fruity flavour that toasts the endless summer of the tropics. It enhances the pleasurable taste of chicken salad or poached fish. Available at Carrefour, Shoprite, Chandarana (and other major retail outlets)
