Wine List

Our House recommended wines are available by 175ml glass £4.25, 250ml glass £5.35 and 750ml bottle £15.75

 

White

Chardonnay Murphy's - Australia
An Ozzie pleaser, clean & fruity Chardonnay showing pure varietal flavours!

 Pinot Grigio Vignabaldo - Italy
Fresh, dry and full of sun, what more would you expect from Sicily!?

Chenin Blanc Celliers de Beaujardin - France
A classic Loire Chenin bringing juicy fruit, appley dryness and some real style

Sauvignon Blanc Herringbone Hills - New Zealand
Affordable New Zealand stunner, crisp, fresh and instantly all round appealling

Muscadet Sur Lie Domaine du Poirier - France
Very dry but with such superb mouthfeel from the less ageing that it actually feels fatter in the mouth. Superb with fish.

Malvasia Spumante Dolce Campana - Italy
Remember Asti Spumante? This is like a turbo version with tons on floral, aromatic fruit but lower alcohol at 7.5%. Delicious at any time but sublime with spicy food.

Rioja Blanco Ruiz de Vinaspre  - Spain
Ultra modern white Rioja with no oak used but a massive flavour and mouthfeel that confirms only the best fruit. A star wine in this list

Rose

 Merlot Rose Aromo - Chile
A little residual sugar on the finish lifts, this beautifully coloured wine in a really attractive way

Touraine Rose Beaujardin - France
Really special pink from the Loire Valley. Light and fresh but at the same time interesting with length and a drier finish.

Red

 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Scopetani - Italy
A light, dry and spicy red from the North West Italy. Great with light food

Kylix Tinto - Spain
Easy drinking Southern Spanish red

 Shiraz Alpaca - Chile
All the spice and weight one expects from a Shiraz. Delicious.

Merlot Aromo - Chile
Soft on the approach with a delicious firmness through the palate. A real find and very moreish. 

Malbec O'Fournier - Argentina
Beefy red from the Uco Valley. Ironic that it's really great with beef!

 Guttornio Vivace Campana - Italy
Unusual wine in nearly every respect, Guttornio is traditionally a red blend of Bonarda and Barbera while this particular example is slightly sparkling. But in a Bordeaux bottle! Amazing and sure to surprise!

 

A Bit of Posh Wine List

All bottles £26.00

White

Sancerre Authentique Thomas Labaille - France
Stunning grass and gooseberry juice freshness. More akin to a Marlborough Sauvignon.

Albarino Vina Cartin - Spain
Albarino is the white grape variety, local to the Northwest corner of Spain called Rias Baixas. It is a full-bodied, dry wine perfectly suited to drinking with shellfish.

Verdelho Bremerton - Australia
Full-bodied white from Langhorne Creek winemaker Rebecca Willson. No oak but tons of character

 Muscadet Serenite domaine du Poirier - France
A little bottle age lends this wine tremendous sophistication and complexity. Dry, elegant and beautiful and if you would ordinarily choose Chablis.

 Red

 Rioja Crianza Ruiz de Vinaspre - Spain
Lovely, soft, round and mellow. Matured in the finest American oak barrels and if you are thinking that this is downgrade from the previously listed Reserva, think again!

 John X Merriman Rustenberg - South Africa
Fantastic quality Bordeaux style blend named after an old Prime Minister who once owned the vineyard.  If you enjoy the good 'claret', give this a go.

Fleurie Collin Bourisset- France
Crisp and fresh tasting as food Fleurie should be. Really top quality

Blauburgunder Grillmaier - Austria
Known elsewhere as Pinot Noir, this wine is softer than a typical Burgundy example

 
Celebrate with Bubbly!

 Prosecco Di Valdobbiadene Marsuret Bottle £19.40
When that long day is over and you can't quite go for the Champagne, Prosecco is the answer to your dilemma. Extra dry finish but with bags of appley, peary fruit and those cheeky little bubbles to dance over your tongue, enjoy!

Bonnaire Blanc de Blanc Grnad Cru & Bonnaire Rose bottle £35.00

 These Champagnes offer a true glimpse of that elusive, up market richness that allows some wines to command huge prices. the first impression is of ultra clean freshness with a big hint of citrus. This is followed by a mid palate power that almost suggests sweetness but just holds back. Beautiful wine. Bonnaire Rose is fairly dark in colour and possessing a wonderfully full body, this pink is more a match for the big name brands!
