| Here you will find a few
white, red and sparkling wines for your event. I have
limited the range so that the choice doesn’t confuse
you. I can always supply a longer list if this is not
to your satisfaction. Please do not hesitate to ask for
any wine you may prefer.
White wine
Rueda Blanco, Vinos Sanz
Rueda in northern Spain remains relatively undiscovered
by British palates; hence this remains very modestly
priced. It is, however, well worth getting to know as
it has a lovely, rich, nutty mouth filling flavour and
a lovely balance of fruit, alcohol and crisp acidity.
Petit Bourgeois Sauvignon Blanc
Wonderfully aromatic and pungent Sauvignon Blanc from
just outside the Sancerre region and much better than
many of the wines bearing that name. Crisp and dry with
a distinctive flavour of gooseberries and asparagus.
Barossa Vines Semillion
A white wine packed with tangy citrus and ripe tropical
fruits flavours. This is a really moreish wine.
Macon Villages, Domaines des Teppes
de Chatenay
Outstanding Macon with a wonderful intensity of flavour
dominated by green apples, nuts and honey. In spite
of its super rich fruit it possesses a near perfect
balance of acidity, giving it a crisp clean finish.
Chablis, Domaine de Vauroux
Crisp and flinty Chablis that has been fermented and
matured in stainless steel to retain all the fresh,
citrus flavours of the Chardonnay grape, deliciously
full, dry white
Sancerre Les Baronnes
Fabulously scented from the central vineyards region
of the Loire Valley. Thus has a glorious aroma of crushed
blackcurrant leaves and gooseberries combined with a
full dry steely finish.
Cousino Macul Chardonnay
Unoaked Chardonnay that is still rich and satisfying,
full of ripe tropical and citrus fruit flavours.
Williams Well Chardonnay
A very appealing, easy to drink wine, showing a good
balance between rich fruit flavours and a subtle use
of oak.
Dr L Riesling
Ernie Loosen was made "Gault Millau" German
Winemaker of the Year for good reason, as this wine
shows. Beautiful, clean fresh fruit flavours balanced
by a touch of sweetness showing real class.
Soave Classico Superiore, Azienda
Agricola Pra
Produced from some of the finest vineyard sites in Soave
this wine exhibits the classic lemon and almond notes
along with a rich backbone of soft fruit flavours.
Old Coach Road Sauvignon Blanc
Lively, characterful Sauvignon Blanc from Nelson in
New Zealand, plenty of gooseberry and guava fruit with
a hint of freshly cut grass and crushed blackcurrant
leaf.
Red Wines
Candidato Tinto
“ Baby Rioja” from Martinez Bujanda. Produced
from grapes grown outside of the classifies area, this
cannot be called Rioja but the telltale flavours of
Tempranillo fruit, together with 9 months maturation
in American oak casks offers a clear indication as to
its pedigree.
Conde de Valdemar Rioja
Very fine Rioja from Martinez Bujanda, one of Spain’s
most respected bodegas. Even after two years in oak
this remains intensely rich and ripe with the soft,
smoky vanilla characteristics of the casks adding further
definition and complexity
Brown brothers Shiraz
Gorgeous Shiraz from the most respected of family-owned
Australian wine producers. Rich and leathery with a
lovely brambly fruit and a hint of smoky oak character
on the finish
Fleurie, Domaine de Grille Midi
Charming cru Beaujolais with a sweet scent dominated
by flavours of cherries and raspberries.
Chateau Ramage la Batisse 1996
This wine is packed with berry fruit flavours and offering
a long finish. This is a wine of real pedigree.
Moulin A Vent, Domaine de Grille
Midi
One of the most full bodied styles of Beaujolais, this
is still packed with the ripe cherry and bright red
summer fruit flavours that you would expect to find,
underpinned with the kind of complexity and structure
that you don't usually expect.
Crozes Hermitages Domaine Thalabert, Jaboulet
From the highly rated Thalabert vineyard this shows
all the rich dark fruit flavours, black pepper and spice
that are the hallmarks of great Syrah.
Chateau Beaumont 1996, Haut-Medoc
Beautiful pure cassis laden fruit flavours are judiciously
balanced by the use of oak ageing in this elegantly
poised claret.
Volnay 1er Cru Robardelle, Domaine
Rossignol Cornu
Plenty of raspberry and redcurrant dominate on the nose,
with hints of truffle and spice adding complexity. In
the mouth there is a lovely silky texture.
Sparkling wine
Deinhard Lila Sekt
Delicious sparkler from Germany from 100% Riesling,
fresh & lively, with all the lovely aromatic lime
blossom flavour characteristics of the variety.
Palau Cava Brut & Rose
A very pleasant Spanish sparkling wine.
Grande Burge Brut
This is a rich, ripe, sparkling wine made using some
of the best Chardonnay and Pinot Noir available in the
Borossa Valley
Champagne
Georges Gardet, Cuvee St.Flavey
Georges Gardet Brut Special
Moet et Chandon Brut Imperial
