White Wine

1 Hutton Ridge Chenin Blanc 2008, South Africa £15.50
A fresh and aromatic chenin blanc, a good aperitif wine

2 Weighbridge Chardonnay 2007, Australia £17.60
A great example of unwooded chardonnay from the renowned Peter Lehmann estate.

3 Muscadet sur Lie 2006, France £18.80
Les Roitelieres, LOIRET, FRÈRES
A fresh, fruity and clean taste, perfect for having with fish.

4 Boira Pinot Grigio, Cantine San Marziano 2008, Italy £15.50
A very mellow style of Pinot Grigio, with soft aromas of sugared almonds,
followed by an off-dry flavour with mild spice hints

5 Winemakers Collection Gewurztraminer 2002, £19.95
Seifried Estate, New Zealand
The aromas on this wine are simply quite intoxicating, with unbelievable
lychee overtones. The attractive straw gold colour is followed by a long, smooth
spicy dry finish. This is a Rolls Royce Gewurztraiminer and very good with
spicy food.

6 Seifried Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2007, N.Z. £22.00
A classic gooseberry nose, fresh fruit flavours and quite dry.

7 Vionta Albarino 2007, Rias Baixas – Spain £24.00
Made in Glicia, the far north-west of Spain, which is the wettest and
coolest area for wine making. This wine is a must for seafood (a
fishing area), crisp, and lemony, with mouth watering acidity. According
to the owne, probably the best vintage he has ever made. We don't disagree.

8 Chablis Domaine des Iles 2006/7 £25.95
Gerard Trembley – France ½ Btl £14.50
Nice honeyed chardonnay fruit on the nose with crisp, clean fruit on the palate.

9 Sancerre Guy Saget 2007 £29.95
Loire Valley, France ½ Btl £16.50
An elegant, fresh, crisp dry wine. Flowery fruit flavours with a soft finish. A great
companion for any seafood.

10 Mersault Blanc, Domaine du Pavillon 2005 £42.50
Albert Bichot, France
An exceptional style of Mersault, it is clean on the palate with a light aromatic, slightly
floral nose. The flavours are long with a toasty chardonnay and some gentle spice.

Red Wine

11 Weighbridge Shiraz 2006 £17.60
Peter Lehmann - Australia
Medium bodied Shiraz with a ruby colour and good up-front fruit on the palate

12 Trivento Malbec, 2007 £16.95
Vina Patagonia – Argentina
Dry, full flavours with a touch of bitter almonds and a good balance

13 “The Siren” Pinotage 2005, Stormhoek, South Africa £19.50
This aroma is full of violets and roses. The long lasting flavour is
lusciously full of juicy sweet ripe fruit, giving an outstanding soft style of Pinotage.

14 Family Reserve Collection Merlot 2001, Aresti, Chile £21.50
Mouthwatering red, 95% Merlot with 5% Camenere to add a mere touch of
sweetness on the palate. The wine spent 12 months in oak and is bottled unfiltered,
to retain all the full, supple structure of the juice. Intense violet red colour, complex
black cherry and plum fruit flavours make this a wine to savour

15 Rioja Tinto Crianza 2005, Bodegas Marques de Caceres £23.95
Bright ruby red in colour, with lively red berry fruit aromas, mouth-filling
ripe fruit flavours and wonderfully smooth tannins. ½ Btl £13.95

Chateau Mont Redon, France £21.00
This is outrageously good Cotes du Rhone, made by one of the top 5 Chateauneuf-
du-Pape producers. A warm palate with gentle spice overtones, without being too
heavy. A wine with few harsh edges, and plenty of satisfaction

17 Margaret River Shiraz 2006 McHenry Hohnen, Australia £23.50
The warm northerly exposure delivers richness and full flavoured ripeness
to this wine. It has a lush and rich palate, with gentle tannins. Made under the
supervision of the owner of Cloudy Bay

18 Château de Fleurie 2006 £27.50
Loron, France ½ Btl £15.95
Full of flavour with some hints of cherries and an almond finish. Being light bodied it
goes well with fish and meat.

19 Chateauneuf-du-Pape Vignoble Fabre, 2004
Chateau Mont Redon, France £35.95
Owned by the Abeille & Fabre families, the quality of this wine is of an outrageously
consistent high standard. It is among the top 5 estates in the appellation, with majestic
flavours. A powerful and complex wine, which legally can have up to
13 grape varieties in the blend.

20 Chateau L'Enclos-Bonis, Saint Estephe, 2003 £34.75
France
A chateau from the same stable as Ch Pichon-Lalande, which is renowned for
being extremely consistent, characterised by a firm structure.

Rosé Wine

21 Cote Sud Rose 2007, Domaine Saint Hilaire, France £18.50
