Wade’s wines

Spicy Mexican food is complement­ed by wines that handle the boldness of the flavours. Here are three with enough acidity and grip to enhance the pairing.

CEVICHE Mulderbosc­h Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé 2018

Fresh strawberri­es and subtle chalky notes define the nose. The palate is framed by beautifull­y balanced, succulent fruit flavours and a fine, mineral finish. R75

SPICY CHICKEN OR PORK TACOS Bouchard Finlayson Blanc de Mer 2017

A fountain of flowery aromas on the nose! The taste is characteri­sed by riesling hints of quince, apricot and almonds with a comforting creamy middle. Fresh and vibrant, with a convincing strength and quality finish. R107

ENCHILADAS Graham Beck MCC Brut Zero 2012

A classic MCC, providing delicious aromas of cherries, blueberrie­s and earthy spice. A delicate palate abounds with yellow stone fruit and hints of brioche. Great balance with a slightly salty finish. R380
