Beverages

White Wine

Vamonos Sauvignon Blanc: Central Valley, Chile

The nose is fresh and lemony with herbaceous notes. An elegant, juicy and fresh wine, with tropical notes and grapefruit on the palate, and a soft finish.

Il Molo Pinot Grigio: Veneto, Italy

Light lemony notes move on to a joyous apple and pleasing pear. All the benefits of an orchard fruit salad with an added note of citrus fun.

Ramon Bilbao Monte Llano Blanco Rioja: Rioja, Spain

A modern take on white rioja, unoaked and with bags of lemon and lime fruit. There’s a streak of minerality amongst the ripe orchard and stone fruits for added lift.

Olivier Tricon Chablis: Burgundy, France

Keen, refreshing and dry, this is a classical performance of cool climate chardonnay. Apples, pears and a certain steeliness on the nose move to a refined and subtle palate. Bracing acidity with mineral notes, green orchard fruits and just a hint of lemon pith on the finish.

Rosé Wine

Il Molo Pinot Grigio Blush: Veneto, Italy

This wine takes the soft citrus characters from a Pinot Grigio and combines them with the delicate, subtle red fruit flavours of a dry rose.

Red Wine

Homeward Bound Shiraz: South East Australia

Australia made its name with dark fruit filled reds that showed hints of spice and chocolate. As flavourful as a Sunday afternoon in the outback and as joyous as the neighbourhood barbecue.

Il Molo Merlot: Veneto, Italy

Not all Italian reds are about high tannins, acidity and savoury flavours. When they put their mind to it they can create soft, juicy and fruit filled wines that are all about easy and everyday drinking. This is a perfect example of such a thing.

Trapiche Melodias Malbec: Mendosa, Argentina

Flavours of black cherry, currants, plums and violets are all supported on a medium weight palate with super smooth tannins and a subtle refreshing acidity.

Vinamar Pinot Noir: Caspian, Chile

This wine is filled to the brim with strawberry, red cherry and raspberry flavours. Light in body and with a refreshing acidity there are hints of vanilla and cinnamon on the long lasting finish.

Ramon Bilbao Monte Llano Tinto Rioja: Rioja, Spain

Rioja without the oak. It’s easy to lose sight of the fruit when it comes to Rioja but this is a reminder of all the bright cherry, raspberry and strawberry goodness that is Tempranillo. There’s a fine acidity and soft tannins on this easy to drink wine.

Sparkling Wine

Tosti Prosecco 20cl: Italy

This wine is perfectly suited as an aperitif, and has a wide range of gastronomic combinations. Particularly well in the company of appetisers and fish dishes. Sweet, balanced, harmonious, soft and lively flavour of the wine shows light fruity shades.
