Bulles de Miniere Sparkling Red
From the banks of the Loire comes this elegant “pet-nat” or pétillant naturel wine made from 100% Cabernet Franc. It is a dry (not sweet!) sparkling red that has a deep red colour, very aromatic nose of morello cherry, raspberry and redcurrant. On the palate, the wine is both fresh and structured with a long and very aromatic finish with hints of spices and ripe fruit. Surprisingly versatile to pair foods with! £18.00
Billecart Salmon Brut Reserve Champagne
The Billecart Salmon Brut Reserve has a very light and harmonious pour, made from a blend of Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay three different years and sourced from the best sites in the Champagne region. The wine has a delicate texture in the mouth, structured around fleshy fruit flavours and serves perfectly both as an aperitif and alongside light dishes. £40.00
Organic Cremant de Bourgogne Brut
Made from the same grape varieties as Champagne with a touch of floral Aligote, Cremant de Bourgogne is a very popular alternative to Champagne, which is grown just a little further north. This is Vitteaut Alberti’s more expensive, organically certified version. It is a full, slightly creamy sparkler, fresh and citrusy, crisp and thirst quenchingly dry. Serve well chilled. £25.00
Howard’s Folly Alvarinho
This is a rich and elegant expression of Alvarinho, with a beautiful nose of lime zest, acacia honey, lychee and apricots. The palate is taut, with medium, enveloping body; not your everyday cheap Alvarinho, but rather a complex and classic expression of the variety. £16.50
Château La Coste Grand Vin Blanc
The Grand Vin Blanc is the top white wine of the estate, boasting richness and complexity. The wine carries a medium-full body but at the same time a beautiful, interwoven minerality from the soils it is grown on. From the wine, you’ll get notes of fresh citrus fruits, dried pineapple, cedar and candied citrus fruits. £30.00
Le Strette Barbera
Luscious black fruits and ripe blackcurrant dominate the nose of this single-vineyard Barbera. This is a powerful version of the variety, with a medium-plus body and profile; boasting flavours of bramble, blackcurrant, blueberries and a touch of cacao. Fresh and long. £18.00
Chateau de Beaucastel Coudoulet Côtes du Rhône
Château de Beaucastel has long been regarded as one of the greatest wineries in France, notorious for its elegance, poise and ageing potential. This wine gives a rich perfume of liquorice, smokiness, saddle leather, blackberries, cherries, and a hint of exotic spices. Medium to full-bodied, it has superb concentration, richness and purity. Excellent value from the Rhône Valley! £30.00
Sabelli-Frisch La Malinche Mission
Akin to a light Grenache with a touch of California sunshine; cranberries, cherries and raspberries dominate the profile with a wild strawberry, peppery edge. Think of it as light a spicy Pinot with a touch more body and tannin. Superb if served a touch chilled, this is an authentic look into the old wines that made California what it is today. £20.50
Grand Francais Cuvée Numero Sans Sulfites
A lovely deep purple colour, with aromas and flavours of cherry, blackberry, and slate. Dry and ample, the Grand Français Cuvée Numero is full of fresh fruit, cheery compote, blueberry pie and baking spices with a remarkable juicy and silky texture. No added sulphites. £20.00
