Ltd., Valley Road, B'Kara Tel: 2144 4400 Domaines Ott Rose 2013 Château de Selle, Côtes de Provence - France International Wine Cellar - Josh Raynolds - June 14, 2014 - 92 Points "Bright salmon-skin color. Spice- and herb-accented aromas of cherry, black raspberry and lavender are complemented by a subtle hint of smokiness. Shows strong mineral and floral character on the palate, with red berry and citrus fruit flavors firming up with air. Closes spicy and very long, with lingering floral pastille and orange zest qualities and a touch of anise." JamesSuckling.com - Alexandre Centeleghe - June 13, 2014 - 93 Points "This is one of the best rosés in the world. Delicate aromas of sliced peaches and light strawberries follow through to a full body, with good acidity and a round soft texture. A joy to drink. Don't serve it too cold. Drink now." Wine Enthusiast - Roger Voss - 89 Points "Light, fruity, very crisp in character, this is an apple and citrus driven wine as much as red fruits. There is an attractive, exotic touch of pomegranate fruits that add an extra dimension to this lively, fresh wine.

Ltd, Valley Road, Birkirkara T: 2144 4400 Soul Food Soul Food Restaurant was born in Val- letta on 27 July, 2013 in the historical cob- bled street of the merchants behind the Parliament. The name derives from the philosophy of food being food for body, mind and soul. At Soul Food 's you will find recipes that perfectly combine cereals and seeds, herbs and spices with good quality and fresh natural ingredients, all dishes are hand- made from scratch – buying and making food responsibly is a must at Soul Food 's. The idea was born from the urge of combining the variety of Italian regional foods with a vegan and vegetarian alterna- tive and that's what this spot has to offer: a place where food, soul and body wellness can meet. Food is prepared in an open-plan kitchen and the environment is very welcoming. The walls are painted in warm shades with a predominance of green and sapphire and the furniture is original and natural. The atmosphere is intimate and informal and makes you feel like you're right at home. It's a heaven's corner where you can listen to good music while enjoying healthy and tasty food, deep in the striking setting of other times like only Valletta can offer. A pleasant lunch in this restaurant will help you take a break from the chaotic city. This place offers discounted prices for nearby office workers and a take away service, with the everyday alternative of regional Italian dishes originally made with ingredients imported from Italy. On Sundays you can sit outside and drink coffees, fresh smoothies, soy cap- puccinos, teas and infuses and taste homemade vegan puddings and cakes or simply have a brunch with friends while sipping organic wine. Reservations are recommended Sunday lunch time. Soul Food is not just a café and a res- taurant, it's an evolving cultural spot to discover thanks to wine tasting nights and photo exhibitions. The room upstairs can welcome also groups for private parties or business lunches with accorded menu. Soul Food offers also dishes for celiacs and people with food intoler- ances. Our body is part of nature and if we eat well our body will feel and look great too! Rachel Agius takes a look at a restaurant and brings a recipe, wine and delicacy of the week.
