The Art of Wine

Bill Muganda (Kenyan Library)

There is something magical, dare I say, romantic in receiving a bottle of wine, from the shape of the bottle, the pop of the cork and the slow drizzle as it occupies the glass. Depending on the environment it always feels transportive, accompanied by rich notes that can make drinking at home on a drizzling day feel like sunbathing on a beach. The power to evoke powerful warm feelings of romance, laughter and to let loose is what inspired my creative outlook for both wine and non-wine aficionados. I wanted to tell a story, bring to life the setting and celebrate how it connects us. Each wine has its own charisma, mood and flare which effortlessly lends itself to a beautiful creative process.

Zonin Prosecco Extra Brut Pale, straw yellow colour with subtle green hues, the extra Brut reveals a bouquet that is refined and elegant, enhanced by pleasing fruity notes.

Chablis, Prosper Maufoux, 2017 This Chardonnay has an elegant nose and carries fruity scents. This balanced wine has the same array of mineral and citrus-fruit aromas on the palate as on the nose, with a good persistent finish.

Rooderberg, classic blend The red blend savours tastes of plum, cherry and tobacco, with strawberry on the nose. The lively palate lingers with dark chocolate, dried spice and aniseed.
