Fabulous Fizz
Champagne Bernard Robert NV Brut – £34.50
Still a family owned house, producing wonderful Champagne. This wine has classic rich brioche notes, with peach and baked biscuit notes. Enjoy with friends and family while opening presents and enjoying some delicious canapes….
Sweetie Darling!!
Niepoort – Tawny Dee Port or Ruby Dum Port – £24.00
The Tawny port is brick red/tawny in colour, with delicate nutty aromas and a hint of dried fruits. On the palate, very well balanced with a youthful fruity, luscious character, which integrates well with a long spirity finish. The young Ruby port is dark red colour with a fresh aroma of dark fruits which follows through on the palate along with an almost mineral character, a youthful wine with great balance and “drinkability”. Ready to drink now after a meal on its own or with soft cheeses.
Indulgent Red
Agostino Pavia Barbera d’Asti Moliss DOCG – £22.00
Deep ruby red with vibrant violet flecks. The nose is intense and complex – ripe dark fruits, vanilla, tar, leather, and warm spices. In the mouth it’s rounded and full-bodied, gentle, well-integrated tannins, and plenty of complex tertiary flavours of tobacco, dried fruit and old oak to make it particularly moreish.
Ooh that’s a Special White…
Granbazan Etiqueta Ambar Albarino – £25.50
Zingy with a splash of ozone on the nose. Fresh tropical aromas with hints of mandarin and white spice. The palate has stone fruit and citrus with a creamy texture, mineral notes, vibrant acidity and classic saline characters. The perfect match for Smoked Salmon…
A Pair of Perfect Reds
2 x Peter Lehmann ‘Hill & Valley’ Shiraz – £16.50
A nose of plum, raspberry, violet flower, blueberry, mocha and a hint of spiced. On the palate its fresh blueberry fruit with lots of plum, dark cherries and young blackcurrant fruits. A long fine tannin structure throughout gives an excellent backbone to this food friendly style of Barossa Shiraz.
2 x Valpolicella Classico Capitel della Crosara Ripasso – £20.50
This Ripasso has powerful and complex aromas of morello cherry, almond, cinammon and wood smoke which gives an attractive first impression. The palate unveils an array of heady red fruit, musk, spices and vanilla on the palate. A generous wine – as ripasso should be.
‘It’s a Wonderful White!’
2 x Reserve Personelle Macon-Villages Chardonnay – £17.00
Signature house style – unoaked, elegant and showing characteristics typical of southern Burgundian unwooded Chardonnay. Pure green apple fruit is framed in appealing acidity; flavours are upfront and full with a hint of hazelnut on the mid palate. This wine shows elegance, finesse and style. If you think you don’t like Chardonnay, think again!
2 x Villa Wolf Pfalz Pinot Gris
This German wine is made in a fruity, off dry style that will appeal to anyone seeking a fresh, unoaked, food-friendly wine for the dinner table or for the sofa. It’s finely fruity, with a nice spicy crackle from the ripe acidity. It’s medium-bodied and and lifted on the palate, with a lovely, lingering finish. A wine that invites you back for more.
