With his passion for wine, our head sommelier at Constance Halaveli, Florian David, shares his 3 top tips for what to drink in the warm sunshine of the Maldives.
Sampling fine wines on the beach with Florian
Florian says:
1. Match the rosy glow of the sun sinking into the Indian Ocean and put a touch of sparkle into your sunset aperitif with a delicate glass of Champagne Deutz Brut Rosé.
2. Refresh your palate after a long luxurious day in the sun with the surprising Sequillo White 2011 from Eben Sadie in Swartland, the most dynamic region of South Africa. This is a wine full of flavours but always sharp.
3. Match the warm, spicy flavours of Maldivian cuisine with the elegant fruitiness of an amazing Condrieu “£Terrasses de l’Empire” 2008 du domaine Georges Vernay from the Rhone Valley in France.
