We are proud of our Wine List. We work closely with our supplier to compile a list that
is diverse yet recognisable with a view to combining familiar wines with some that you
might not recognise. We hope that this might encourage you to experiment
occasionally and to veer away from the tried and tested to venture into new territory.
All of the wines are carefully sourced from small independent growers, many of whom
work sustainably. However, they all have a common objective and that is to produce
wines that are truly representative of the area that they come from – in other words,
wines with a real expression of ‘Terroir’.

CHAMPAGNE
A selection of our organic and natural wines,
Included on this list are a number of ‘Natural Wines’. These are sourced from small artisan
growers who work sustainably, organically or biodynamically in the vineyard and with minimal
interventions in the winery. Much of the farming is labour-intensive, sometimes done with
horses rather than tractors and all of the picking and selection is by hand. Yields, usually
from old vines, are low. Fermentations tend to be with wild yeasts and most wines are made
with much lower than normal additions of sulphur and many are unfiltered and unfined. In
style the wines tend to be light-to-medium bodied, fresh (even refreshing), savoury,
occasionally challenging, but always delicious to drink – and even more delicious with food.

WINTER WINES
Sparkling, Rosé, Whites and Reds.
.
As the weather gets colder and the nights draw in, we naturally gravitate towards typical seasonal dishes
and of course the wines that compliment them so well, which tend to be reds. Rhone or a meaty Burgundy
with game. Chianti and Barbera the perfect foil for those rich winter stews. Something from Bordeaux, Spain
or the Southwest with the Sunday Roast and a sun-ripened juicy red with duck.
Lurking within this list however are a number of whites that can also hold their own with winter dishes. The
Bergerac with its ripe fruit and bright acidity is wonderful with belly of pork, whereas the Limoux puts many
a Meursault in the shade and is perfect with chicken, guinea fowl and light game. The beautifully balanced
1er Cru Chablis is a treat with any fish prepared in a sauce and the ripe richness of the Pecorino partners
seafood perfectly. Vinum create a masterpiece out of Chenin Blanc and this handles gentle spice very well
indeed - tagine or curry perhaps.

ROSÉ
Although Roses undoubdtedly reflect the joy and diversity of summer, with their ripe, red berry fruit
aromas, full, fruit flavours and crisp, balanced acidity, they do have the ability to brighten up even the
dullest winter day and conjure up memories of holidays. The ripe, red berry fruits of the Languedoc is the
personification of the Mediterranean - whereas the Provencale wine is typically pale and floral, poised and
elegant. Sitting in the middle is the delicious Cinsault from Southern Chile which is pale and balanced and
almost Provencal.

WHITES
From Bordeaux to the Pyrenees to the Med...
From Bordeaux to the foothills of the Pyrenees down the Mediterranean coast France offers an amazing
variety of exciting indigenous grape varieties from the peach and apricot aromatic charms of Viognier to the
dry, but wonderfully opulent and mouth-filling Semillon in the Cuvee de Conti. The Gros Manseng of
Jurançon captures the coolness and freshness of the mountain climate, whilst the Picpoul de Pinet from
vineyards adjacent to the sea has an almost salty-savouriness. Close your eyes and taste the Toques et
Clochers Chardonnay from Limoux – you could well be in heart of Burgundy.

Burgundy, Alsace & The Loire – France’s Classic White Wine Regions
The Loire is home to the some of the world’s great examples of Sauvignon (such as Sancerre and Pouilly
Fume). Alsace offers French interpretation of Germanic grapes and this Riesling is dry, crisp and fragrant .
Burgundy is all about Chardonnay - from the pure unoaked mineral examples from Chablis in the north to
the more opulent wood-aged wines from the Cote d’Or. The Aligote grape, used in Northern Burgundy
produces wines that are green-gold, nervous and racy. Petit Bourgeois is enormous fun; it is a “Petit
Sancerre”, all flowering currants and elderberry. The Macon-Fuisse is from a diligent estate who produce a
very pure style of Chardonnay with ripe buttery fruit evolving into a beautifully crisp palate with notes of
almond-butter and citrus.

Italy, Austria, Portugal & Spain
Italian whites from such grapes as Pinot Grigio tend to be very fresh and delicately aromatic. The White
Sicilan blend is wonderfully crisp with some tropical fruit. The suitably named Tremendus is unoaked and
offers an invigorating expression of the Viura grape with it’s sherbert-lemon nuances. The Pecorino from the
Adriatic Coast is supple, silky and full flavoured. Alternatively, try the joyously zesty, citrus-laden Albarino
from Galicia which is Spain’s noble white grape and the perfect match with all manner of fish and seafood..
The Loureiro is from the other side of the border in Portugal. Again there are strong citric notes, but the wine
is a bit rounder in the mouth. Finally, the white flower and white pepper Gruner is simply a joy.

The New World – South Africa, New Zealand & South America
Some of the best value wines come from South America and South Africa. Here the focus is on the grape
varietal and expression of clean fruit. Consider the unoaked Good Hope Chardonnay from Stellenbosch nice ripe apple-and-pear fruit, clean-as-a-whistle on the finish. Casa Azul shows that quality Sauvignon
doesn’t just grow in France and New Zealand. With pungent elderflower notes dominating on the nose
giving way to riper, more tropical melon, passionfruit and nectarine flavours in the mouth, this delivers
great value. The Vinum takes South African Chenin Blanc to a new level with intense smoky fruit, a touch
of integrated oak and a lively finish. New Zealand’s Marlborough has become the southern hemisphere’s
spiritual home of the Sauvignon grape. The version from Framingham is a super example: crunchy and
minty with hints of passionfruit and white currants.

REDS
Burgundy, Cru Beaujolais & Loire
The wines of the Beaujolais (from the much under-rated Gamay grape) are marvelously juicy and fruity.
The Fleurie is fresh and lively with engaging, slithery fruit texture, whilst the Beaujolais Villages is pure,
lively berry fruit. The unusually labeled Dyptique is a perfect expression of the joys of Cabernet Franc.
Burgundy is the spiritual home of Pinot Noir that most seductive and eloquent of grape varieties, although it
also grows in the eastern Loire around Sancerre, in Alsace and small pockets of the Languedoc. The
Sancerre Baronnes is pleasingly fragrant with notes of wild roses and raspberries. Each of the Burgundies
is an eloquent testament to this wonderful grape, ranging from the simple, cherry-fruited Bourgogne Rouge
to the earthy, beetrooty Saint-Aubin from Miolane, to the richness and elegance of the Savigny-les-Beaunes
and finally an opulent Gevrey from a great vintage displaying a beautiful range of aromas and flavours.

South West France: Bordeaux to the Pyrenees
These are wines of ‘Terroir’ and structure and should definitely be drunk with food. Ranging from the gutsy
tea scented Cahors (from a blend of Malbec and Merlot) to the cassis and cedar notes of the Bergerac, to
fruity, but structured Tannat based Lesc from the hills of Gascony. The Chateau Deville has good bottle
age and is perfect as a “house Claret”, as has the Toulouze with its more mineral notes. The Saint-Emilion
has more structure than most; the vineyards are adjacent to Pomerol and the wine always has an iron core
to its fruit which makes it great with lamb or steak. The Segla is the second wine of the famous and rather
wonderful Rausan-Segla. Very bright and elegant red fruits in evidence, raspberry, cherry and liquorice,
with a complex and very true gravel edge.

The Flavour of the Mediterranean (Languedoc and the Rhone)
Warm and expansive, sun-baked and herbal the Rhone wines contain a large proportion of Grenache and
Syrah whilst those from the Languedoc feature the earthy Carignan grape in their blends. The Corbieres
yields ripe red fruits with a fair spattering of herbaceous ‘garrigue’ notes. The Chapoton is darker and
more intense with some tobacco and spice. The Vacqueyras displays the heat and warmth of the southern
Rhone, think savoury plums, forest fruits and white pepper, while the Chateauneuf with it’s game-andgravy nose displays wonderful maturity and polish.

Italian & Spanish Reds
Spanish wines tend to be juicy or rich and oaky The Montesc manages to be a balanced blend of both with
soft, red fruits and a silky roundness from some oak aging. There is also the Bierzo from the wilds of
Galicia which has some brooding, dark fruit and is fantastic with any game. The organic Barbera d’Asti is
really wild; this unfiltered red is gamey and leathery oozing with dark red cherry fruit. Perfect with pork.
The Nero d’Avola based Piazzi from Sicily has ripe, dark fruit flavours, but retains freshness and levity. The
2 Tuscan offerings, both based on the Sangiovese grape, have similarities in that they both share the
cherry and almond fruit that the grape always offers, but whereas the ‘Bellamarsilia’ is bright, vibrant and
youthful, the Rodano is more brooding with overtones of leather and cinnamon.

The New World - South Africa, New Zealand & South America
New Zealand with its relatively cool maritime climate seems to one of the best countries or regions outside
Burgundy for growing Pinot Noir. The version from Clos Henri is delicately oaked and shows true Pinot Noir
with notes of strawberries, plums and cherries and a hint of white pepper. Chile is a melting pot for so
many grapes; This Pinot offers immense drinkability with an alluring pale colour, cherry fruit and hints of
vanilla. The Malbec from Mendoza (where else), which is farmed organically and is only lightly oaked
demonstrates that not all Malbec’s need to be big, heavy, alcoholic bruisers and has some ripe fig notes
with gamey overtones. The Granite Ridge is an enjoyable burst of natural ripeness with blue and
blackberry fruit, refreshing acidity and a lick of spice.
