The gathering was presented by S.H. Maju Sdn Bhd in collaboration with Asiaeuro Wines & Spirits Sdn Bhd and brought together wine enthusiasts and distinguished guests for an evening celebrating the renowned Spanish winery and its exceptional vintages.
More so as the wine tasting was set against the elegant backdrop of Pelangi Beach Resort Langkawi and provided the perfect ambience for guests to savour a carefully curated dining experience paired with a selection of premium Marqués de Cáceres wines.
As guests took the opportunity to mingle and savour the fine wine range, they were hosted to a fancy dinner put out by the F&B Dept of the resort. On hand to showcase the fine wine range was German Rubiales Regordan, Export Sales Manager of Marqués de Cáceres all the way from Spain.
In all, he introduced six choices, namely the Marqués de Cáceres Cava Brut, Marqués de Cáceres Verdejo DO 2025, Marqués de Cáceres Deusa Nai Albarino Rias Baixas Do 2024, Marqués de Cáceres Crianza DOCa 2021, Marqués de Cáceres Reserva DOCa 2019 and finally the Marqués de Cáceres Gaudium Reserve DOCa 2020.
The free flow of wine along with the gentle and nostalgic music in the backdrop also served as a pleasant setting for the evening.
