WINE OF THE MONTH

Shabestan’s Wine of the Month features two exceptional wines that beautifully capture the essence of their terroirs and the Mediterranean spirit. Both wines are especially delightful when paired with Mediterranean cuisine; the red’s nuanced fruit and spice echo the region’s robust, herb-infused dishes, while the white’s crisp, lively character harmonizes with light appetizers, fresh & juicy kebabs, and main course dishes, creating a dining experience that is as culturally rich as it is flavorful.

 

The Ch Rousseau Vin Rouge Bordeaux is a quintessential French red blend crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot, offering a fine, elegant nose with vibrant notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, and subtle spice accented by a whisper of vanilla. Its balanced structure and soft tannins create a lingering finish that perfectly complements hearty dishes like grilled meats and rich cheeses.

 

In contrast, the Bennati Soraighe Soave Classico Libet 2019 hails from Italy’s historic Veneto region, where Casa Vinicola Bennati—established in 1920—continues a proud winemaking tradition. This luminous white wine enchants with a straw-yellow hue, delicate aromas of almond and tropical fruit, and a refreshing acidity that lends it sophistication and finesse.
