WINES - WHITE

Campo Flores Organic Blanco, Spain | 32,00 £
From sun-drenched La Mancha in central Spain. An organic fruit bomb, mostly Verdejo with a splash of Airen and Sauvignon Blanc to add some crisp and easy-drinking acidity.

Mont Rocher Vieilles Vignes Viognier, France | 40,00 £
‘Old Vine’ Viognier, averaging 30 years, produces a full, apricot-fi lled mouthful of joy. Intense and aromatic, perfectly balanced.

Reserve Delsol Picpoul De Pinet, France | 44,00 £
Picpoul – if you like Pinot Grigio then you will love this. Crisp and zippy, refreshing and fruity, arguably our favourite white.

Waipara Springs Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand | 46,00 £
Classically NZSB but without that Guava and Passionfruit overload. All the fruit you need whilst still maintaining fabulous drinkability.

Domaine Michaut Freres Chablis, France | 70,00 £
Archetypal Chablis from the small Domaine Michaut. The French have been at it for centuries, and you can see why. A wine with real gravitas.

WINES - ROSÉ

Rosa De Azafran Tempranillo Rosé, Spain | 32,00 £
Fresh, fruity and easy drinking. All raspberries, strawberries, and cream.

Domaine La Grande Bauquière Côtes De Provence Rosé, France | 46,00 £
The finest rosés always come from Provence. Oh so elegant and punching way above its weight. Is this the best wine on our list?

WINES - RED

Darling Cellars SMG Shiraz-Malbec-Grenache, South Africa | 32,00 £
Smoky, alluring, warming your body and soul in equal measure.

Altopiano Montepulciano D’Abruzzo, Italy | 70,00 £
Organically farmed on the hills of Abruzzo overlooking the Adriatic. Morning sun and cool breezes make for perfect conditions for Montepulciano. Easy drinking, all day (and all night) long.

Belhara Estate Amayan Malbec, Argentina | 38,00 £
From the slopes of Mount Tupungato, the highest mountain in South America. As pure as pure can be when it comes to Malbec. Pepper and spice and all things nice in abundance.

JJ Hahn Hermann’s Vineyard Shiraz, Australia | 55,00 £
From one of the oldest vineyards in Barossa, full, rich, eucalyptus-laden, and oozing style and panache.

Cartlidge And Browne Cabernet Sauvignon, USA | 65,00 £
Full, fl avoursome, archetypal Cabernet Sauvignon. Textured, rich, all blackcurrant leaf and blackberry crunch.

WINES - SPARKLING

Beppe Morchetta Spumante Brut, Italy | 32,00 £
Made in the same way as prosecco but using Garganega and Trebbiano grapes. Crisp, fruity, easy drinking.

Biscardo Millesimato Vintage Prosecco Rosé, Italy | 38,00 £
Oh so pale pink, sophisticated, elegantly restrained. A blend of Glera and a dash of Pinot Noir.

Steenberg Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc, South Africa | 40,00 £
Crisp, lip-smacking and a bit of a best kept secret! Zippy, zingy, and thirstquenching.
