• Wine and Champagnes

  Champagnes

  Champagne Mansard Brut
  Blended with the three main champagne grape varieties; Pinot Noir
  gives elegance and length, Pinot Meunier gives bodyweight and
  Chardonnay contributes aroma and finesse. There is a good amount
  of bottle age on the brut non-vintage, making this a very attractive
  and enjoyable champagne.

  Sparkling Pinot Grigio Rosé, San Orsola
  A fashionable pink sparkling version of Italy's most popular white grape;
  light, dry and refreshing.

  White Wine

  Sancerre, les Comtesses, Paul Thomas, Chavignol, Loire Valley, France
  The wine comes from a particular slope called 'les Comtesses' on
  the best part of the south facing hill of Chavignol, just outside the
  hill town of Sancerre. This is an elegant and appealing Sancerre, full
  of 'gooseberry' fruit with a delicious citrus tang.

  Chablis, J Moreau et Fils, Burgundy, France
  Very dry, crisp flinty wine with excellent fruit and acidity, yet retains
  its essential elegance.

  Sauvignon Blanc, Dos Hermanos, Curicó Valley, Chile, Fairtrade
  Fairtrade Wine means that the growers are guaranteed a fair and
  stable price for their grapes. Winemaker Peter Bright was one of
  the original flying winemakers and this Sauvignon is typical of his
  excellent wines - fresh, zesty and aromatic with a lively crisp acidity.

  Chardonnay, Vin de Pays d'Oc, Fortant, France
  A delicate wine with subtle aromas of pears, figs, hazlenut and honey.

  White Rioja, Marqués de Cáceres, Spain
  The best of new style wines from Spain with ripe, lively fruit and
  a fresh, dry finish. This young white is perfect as an aperitif.

  Colombard/Chardonnay, Katherine Hills, Australia
  Lifted, tropical fruit characters, balanced by citrus and melon
  flavours, dominate the nose. These enticing characters follow
  through to a palate showing length and lingering fruitiness.

  Pinot Grigio, Marchesini, Italy
  A crisp, dry wine with the fuller style typical of this highly popular
  grape variety. Cool fermented for maximum fruit and acidity
  retention, the wine is bottled while young and fresh.

  Chenin Blanc, Cape Bay, South Africa
  This popular young wine gives delicious ripe Chenin fruit balanced
  by a dry, long finish.

  Chardonnay, Willowood, California
  Made using state of the art techniques to produce a crisp, dry
  white wine with refreshing citrus fruit characters and a typical
  light buttery finish.

  Red Wines

  Fleurie, le Roitelet, Henry Fessy, Beaujolais, France
  Soft, silky, raspberry fruit and an attractive purpley red colour
  characterise this well made wine from the Gamay grape.

  Pinot Noir, Vin de Pays d'Oc, Robert Skalli, France
  Intense flavours of small black fruit, chocolate and liquorice give
  wonderful complexity to this smooth, delicious wine.

  Pinotage, Cape Bay, South Africa
  From a grape variety unique to the Cape, this is a delicious red
  wine with attractive berry fruit and full flavours. Once you have
  tasted this grape variety, it will become a firm favourite.

  Cabernet Sauvignon, Vin de Pays d'Oc, Fortant, France
  A smooth, generous wine with intense aromas of blackcurrant,
  vanilla and pepper.

  Merlot, Willowood, California
  A delicious soft rounded red with hints of ripe red berries and
  supple tannins.

  Shiraz/Cabernet, Katherine Hills, Australia
  This wine has smooth, ripe fruit with soft tannins. The delicate
  spice of the Shiraz blends perfectly with the red fruit characters
  of the Cabernet Sauvignon.

  Merlot Refosco, Altana di Vico, Italy
  A light bodied yet convincing all-rounder. Fruity and well balanced -
  great with pasta dishes and cold meats.

  Rose

  Grenache/Syrah/Cinsault Rosé, Wild Boar, Provence, France
  A refreshing dry rosé from the heart of Provence. Bright red berry
  and mint aromas with a supple yet dry and crisp finish. Very versatile
  and matches perfectly with grilled white meats, seafood, dry cheeses
  and salads.

  Pinot Grigio Rosé, Marchesini, Italy
  Pinot Grigio is neither dark or light skinned (actually somewhere in
  between) as such it lends itself well to the production of pink wines.
  Just off-dry and subtly flavoured this fashionable combination is a
  good choice for many wine lists.
