We stock a selection of wines to suit even the most discerning palate Including Pinot Grigio, one of Italy’s most popular wines produced from the Pinot Gris grape grown in the N.E. region of Veneto and Friuli. Intended to be consumed early, its light crisp texture leaves an almost silk like overtone.
Australian Chardonnay. It is widely accepted that Australia is now one of the worlds leading and better quality Chardonnay producers. Grown in the cooler climates of Geelong Victoria and in the warmer regions of Hunter valley in New South Wales it is regarded as a true thoroughbred Leibfraumilch, Germany’s most exported wine literally translates as milk of our lady and was originally produced at the vineyards of Liebfraunenkirche ( church of our lady ) In the city of worms in the Rheinhassen region. Pilloried by some if only for its ubiquitous popularity it still remains at the vanguard among most sweet white wines.
Chilean sauvignon Blanc. The word Sauvignon takes its name from the French sauvage meaning wild.Our Chilian Blanc is noticeably less acidic than that of the equally popular New Zealand variety and more similar to the French style. It is produced in the Valparaiso region.
Zinfandel Rose A medium bodied wine with a jewel like colour it showcases the fruit flavours of Cranberry Water Melon and Cherry. It is an off-dry “blush” wine produced from the famous red grape the Zinfandel native to America.
Chilean Cabernet Merlot .Chile has taken the U.K
wine market by storm thanks to its ripe, fruity,easy drinking style coupled with value for money. Investment and modern wine producing methods has encouraged production of really fine quality wine full of forest fruits, berries, and a well balanced, soft finish.
Shiraz Mataro Produced in South Australia this combines a blend of the Shiraz and Mataro (The Spanish version of Mouvedre ) Sweet, smooth and fruity this really bold red remains surprisingly inexpensive given its unenviable appeal and approbation.
