Constance is proud to be collaborating with historic German winemaker Dr Bürklin-Wolf on a series of wine dinners in the Maldives this month.
Producers of world-class dry Rieslings from the Mittelhaardt district of Germany since 1597, Dr Bürklin-Wolf is a pioneer of German viticulture.
Using only organic, biodynamic methods across its 85 hectares of vineyards, Bürklin-Wolf create wines with an excellent, authentic character.
Annette Siegrist, export manager at Bürklin-Wolf, will be visiting Constance Halaveli and Constance Moofushi and attend a wine dinner at each resort to meet with guests and discuss the wine.
The chefs at Halaveli and Moofushi will create a world-class menu to accompany a selection of wines chosen by Siegrist. The wine dinners will be held on 5 October at Halaveli and 6 October at Moofushi.
