France

VIOGNIER

- Domaine De Vedilhan 13 Languedoc

Aromas of ripe pears and peaches with a twist of Turkish delight merge into a palate of matching flavours. The fresh vibrant fruit is very neat, not over the top expressive as some Viogniers can be, but light, zippy and elegant.

PICPOUL DE PINET

- Éléphant Domaine Delsol 13 Languedoc

Picpoul is an ancient white-wine grape variety of Southern France specifically the traditional and prolific Languedoc Roussillon region. The name Picpoul translates literally as 'stings the lip' and is a reference to the grape's naturally, mouth-wateringly acidity. Fruity with aromas of green melon, grapefruit and hints of rose petal, extremely well balanced, pear, lemon, lime notes mingling with zippy acidity, with a crisp & refreshing finish.

CHABLIS

- Auxerre, Domaine Tremblay-Marchive 12 Chablis

A beautiful example of how 'traditional' Chablis should be from Lynne Marchive. Aromas of honey and beeswax, with touches of vanilla or toast, perfectly balanced fruit, slightly honeyed, opening up quite quickly to show the typically evocative classic flinty/steely highly sort-after vivid Chablis fresh edge.

SANCERRE

- Domaine de Pre Semele, Rémy Raimbault 13 Loire

Grapes are hand-picked and gently pressed, fermented at 18°C by indigenous yeasts in stainless steel vats - all to preserve natural aromas, elegance and complexity. Showing pure sancerre style - fragrant aromas of grapefruit and citrus with a waft of mineral pungency, full and round in the mouth with further fruity grapefruit and orange flavours but also almond nuttiness, supported by elegant zingy lees & acidity.

Italy

PINOT GRIGIO

- ‘La Voluta Grande’ Castel Boglione 13 Veneto

100% Pinot Grigio, a crisp and lively dry white, gently lifted aromas of pears, musk, exotic fruits, peach and honey. A complex, rich & full bodied white; balanced by refreshing acidity, mineral backbone & a gently honeyed, persistent finish.

GAVI

- ‘La Battistina’ Araldica 13 Piamonte

Single estate Gavi, hand harvested 100% cortese grapes. Fresh, aromatic, zesty, sherbety nose with apple, lime and passionfruit notes. The wine is juicy, with weighty pure poached pear characteristics and a hint of minerality, a zippy, citric mouth watering feel creating a refreshing, satisfying finish.

PROSECCO SPUMANTE

- ‘Lunetta’ Venezie, Cavit Italy

100% Prosecco grapes. Elegant fruity aromas, of pear apple and citrus. Delightfully smooth, fresh and well balanced, with plenty of light, refreshing bubbles. Fresh, fashionable with that touch of Venetian elegance … Also the perfect aperitivo to start an evening! A blend of a 1/3 of each three varieties of grapes from Champagne (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier) that compliment each other marvellously and make it a well-balanced wine. Delicate, supple and fruity. 100% Pinot Noir. This Champagne is produced by the grand classic method of direct maceration of Pinot Noir, known as “Saignée”. Only a handful of Houses where the quest for quality and flavour permit the winemaker to take a risk in doing this. This Rosé Champagne is potent and full-bodied, marked by red berry aromas.

While a vintage Champagne shows the character of a specific harvest, a non-vintage Champagne exemplifies the style of the House. Freshness, elegance and balance, the defining qualities of the range, are showcased in the Brut L-P year after year. With 45% Chardonnay and up to 20% reserve wines to ensure consistency, this Champagne is fresh and delicate with good complexity and a hint of citrus.

19.50

Using only the highest quality Pinot Noir grapes, this iconic Rosé is one of the few Rosé Champagnes that is made by drawing the juice from black grapes in the vat, instead of simply blending red and white wines. This gives it the highly expressive bouquet, extraordinary depth and freshness, and delicious red berry flavours that have made it a benchmark for all Rosé Champagnes.

Moet & Chandon: Why is D.P so special? Could it be it was the first prestige cuvee; uses the same source of grapes for each vintage; a rigorous selection process in both vineyard and winery; the seamless balance of Chardonnay to Pinot Noir in equal portions or the impeccable blending? Probably just that it is beautifully understated, offering characteristic smoothness.

PINOT GRIS

bottle - 'Jealous Sisters' Gladstone Vineyards 12 Wairarapa

Not only can New Zealand make great Sauvignon they are also very good at other styles. This style is off dry with a soft ripe backbone. A lovely bouquet of yellow peach and nectarine opens up to floral and cinnamon spice nose. The juicy nectarine characters give the palate a real fleshiness that finishes on a subtle spicy note. Well made wine also great as an aperitif . Good with anything Spicy, Asian

CLOUDY BAY - MARLBOROUGH SAUVIGNON BLANC 14 New Zealand

Still has one of the best reputations for Sauvignon. Cloudy Bay was established in 1985 by David Hohnen of Cape Mentelle in Western Australia, situated in the Wairau Valley, Marlborough on New Zealand’s South Island and takes its name from the bay at the extremity of the valley, named by Captain Cook on his voyage to New Zealand in 1770. Sixty hectares of estate vineyards, planted in 1986, surround the winery in Rapaura, with additional plantings at Brancott in the southern foothills. Still good after all these years

RUSTENBERG CHARDONNAY 12 Stellenbosch, S.Africa

Quote, ‘I am convinced that nowhere can beat South Africa. The best Cape Chardonnays are made in very much the same way as white Burgundy, they have a sleekness, ageability and the fruit has lovely natural acidity, thanks to all that Antarctic influence. This is wonderfully complex yet fine and delicate too, spreading smoothly over the palate with real integrity of flavour, as befits the produce of some of the oldest Chardonnay vines in the South Africa’ ~ Jancis Robinson

‘BIG EASY’ Ernie Els - Bordeaux Blend 12 Stellenbosch, S.Africa

Shiraz 60%, Cabernet Sauv 20%, Grenache 7%, Mourvedre 6%, Cinsault 4% Viognier 3%. Very ripe fruit but not over fleshy, ripe cassis, red fruits and herbal freshness. Rounded tannins help to ensure fleshiness on the mid palate and a lush ripe fruited finish. One for the Golfers.

CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE

- ‘Château Fargueirol’ Rhone, France 11

Pierre Revoltier ~ Gren70%, Syrah 20% Gorgeous nose of Kirsch, violet & sweet cherry peppercorns, licorice and a lovely minerality dominate the palate intertwined with balsam wood, briery berry fruit, blackberry and spice. Elegant, pure, fresh, and full, a classic marriage between finesse & power.

A whirlwind of peat and complex malty flavours, this is an exuberant, in-your-face whisky to be cherished. Deep, dry and an exceptionally peaty bruiser. Lagavulin is not for the faint-hearted but inspires fanatical devotion in its many followers. Talisker 10yr's profile keeps increasing as more fans discover its intense coastal spicy, peaty character. A truly elemental malt.

38.00

A full 60% abv, yet the sweet, rich, spicy distillery character is still very much in evidence. A very small drop of water is recommended to open up the flavours. This shows soft sweetness and a velvety feel when first tasted, then the intense peatiness so unique to Laphroaig comes bursting through.

28.00

A good introduction to the delights of single malt whisky – elegant, smooth and medium-bodied, with a light, fruity palate and a whiff of heather on the finish. Remains one of the gold standard malts for other distillery bottlings to aspire to. With a delicious sweetness (heather-honey is their preferred description) and a warming, silky mouthfeel, this is a whisky that never lets you down. One of the most famous malts in the world. Glenlivet 12yr has a soft smooth balance of sweet summer fruits and the floral notes of spring flowers.
