The Cellar

Wine List

Sparkling

Champagne

  • Champagne, Hervé Mathelin Premiere Brut

    80% Pinot Meunier, 20% Pinot Noir

    A light gold colour with a delicate effervescence, the nose is fresh and pleasant with mixed aromas of citrus, nectarines and hints of white flowers. In the mouth it’s very subtle and remains soft with some biscuit notes.

  • Champagne, Hervé Mathelin Privilege Brut

    95% Chardonnay, 5% Pinot Noir

    Toasty and intense with a lemony nose and bright fruit, on the palate it’s concentrated, savoury and very fresh, with excellent acidity and citrus fruit. A really complex refined sparkler.

Italy, Treviso

  • San Giuseppe Prosecco Spumante Extra Dry

    Glera

    A flavoursome prosecco with a hint of crisp green apple, with just the right amount of sweetness.

White

Burgundy

  • Chablis, Domaine Michel Colbois

    Chardonnay

    A truly excellent Chablis, this wine exhibits richness with the familiar steely tones of the region. Golden in colour with an abundance of peach and lemon. The nose is loaded with minerals, citrus, white flower aromas with hints of wet stone. Minerally, tight and racy with cool flavours and perfect balance.

  • Pouilly-Fuissé, Château Vitallis

    Chardonnay

    Intense aromas of citrus, white fruit, brioche and a hint of honey. The palate is medium with a richness from the 6 months in oak, long and flavoursome finish.

Loire

  • Sancerre, Tradition Morin

    Sauvignon Blanc

    This is a small family-run domaine comprising 9.5 hectares of vineyards in Bué, arguably the most prestigious village in the whole of the Sancerre appellation. A cool fermentation ensures a particularly pure, fruity style to sit alongside the characteristic flintiness.

Alsace

  • PH Ginglinger Riesling

    Organic Riesling

    Intense lemon yellow; distinguished, delicate and fresh nose with citrus fruits, candied lemon, grapefruit; ample mouth with citrus fruits, delicate spice and ginger followed by long, vivacious finish.

Italy, Friuli

  • Anselmi, Latisana, Ca'Stella Pinot Grigio

    Pinot Grigio

    Golden yellow. Enticing juicy pear and orange blossom. A ripe mouthful of zesty citrus and green apple. Light, spicy notes and palate with lovely depth and balance. A touch of pleasing minerality, followed by crisp honey on the long finish.

Spain, Rías Baixas

  • Finca dei Arantei, Albariño

    Albariño

    A zesty, lime and pineapple nose. With bright peaches and apple fruit on the palate. There's a firm backbone of acidity which keeps the wine structured and just enough fleshiness to give a flattering mid palate.

Argentina

  • Ocaso, Chardonnay

    Chardonnay

    Medium bodied, slight oak (four months in oak barrels), zippy acidity and a mineral core. A chardonnay from the new world with old world characteristics.

New Zealand, Nelson

  • Torrent Bay, Sauvignon

    Sauvignon Blanc

    Dry, with gooseberry, blackcurrant leaf and subtle juicy tropical flavours, herbaceous as well with hints of lime. This leaves a clean fresh palate and nicely balanced mouthfeel.

House

  • Domaine La Grave, Sauvignon

    Sauvignon Blanc

    Fresh and fruity with mellow aromas of tropical fruits and white flowers. Tastes of melon, peach and apricot with excellent acidity and a long perfumed finish.

Red

Burgundy

  • Maratray Dubreuil Bourgogne Pinot Noir

    Pinot Noir · 12.5%

Languedoc

  • Château Cascadais, Corbières

    Carignan, Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre · 15%

    A medium to full bodied wine with a ripe dark berry fruit character. The soft fruity aromas are complemented by notes of peppery spice, vanilla and rosemary. Silky elegant tannins complement good balancing acidity for a refreshing, long finish.

  • Cruviers-Lascours and Ners Cellars, IGP Cevennes

    Pinot Noir · 13%

    A beautiful, bright red Pinot Noir with crimson reflections. Great aromatic richness with aromas of cherry, blackberry and notes of the forest floor. The taste is delicate and it has a steady structure with a woody harmony.

Bordeaux

  • Château La Fauconnerie, Montagne St Émilion

    14%

    Bursting with enticing spicy fruit and moderate tannin. A tremendous mouth feel, leading to a smooth well rounded finish.

  • Château Guibeau, Puisseguin St Émilion

    Organic Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot · 13.5%

    Ripe plum and cherry notes with a subtle oak lift, the taste is velvety black fruit supported by firm ripe tannins.

Côtes du Rhône

  • Le Mas des Flauzieres Gigondas Four Danuga

    70% Grenache, 30% Syrah · 14.5%

    This is a velvety-textured wine, with lively notes of peppery spice enlivening the core elements of black cherry, plum and liquorice. Lip smacking good with a great long finish.

  • Domaine Montmartel

    Organic Grenache 70%, Syrah 20%, Mourvèdre 10% · 14.5%

    Easy drinking with fruity fragrances of cherry evolving into a rather suave and textured finale, with an aftertaste of gritty, grainy tannin and a smoky, menthol clarity.

Italy

  • Apollonio Terragnolo Primitivo, Puglia

    Primitivo · 15%

    A rich full bodied intense red, with a striking nose of figs, blueberries and stewed blackberry. A blast of blackcurrant on the palate and an excellent fruit driven finish with a hint of coconut.

  • Brumale Nero d'Avola, Sicily

    Nero d'Avola · 13%

    Typical Nero d’Avola of black cherry, blackberry, plum and blueberry. The wine is full and robust, silky smooth with tannins that are gentle.

Spain, Rioja

  • Ontanon Crianza

    Organic Tempranillo · 14%

    A modern style Rioja which sees a short time in oak. It has a classic nose with bright red bramble fruit. Medium bodied, really juicy and good acidity. A well balanced example of a young Rioja - cracking value.

Argentina, Mendoza

  • Ocaso Melisa Malbec

    Malbec · 13.5%

    Violet with a hint of spice on the nose with underlying black cherry notes, in the mouth raspberry with a hint of blackcurrants, quite smooth tannins followed by a finish of liquorice and a sprinkling of pepper, good length.
