Put simply this is the best ‘house’ level Sauvignon Blanc we have ever tasted…ever. It
is like an amalgamation of that tropical New Zealand style, flinty French style and that
rounded full fruit which you get from Chile. Amazing wine, amazing value.
Kintu, Central Valley Chardonnay - Chile
Attractive yellow colour with hints of straw. On the nose there are aromas of banana,
custard apple, peaches and tropical fruits. Full bodied and creamy in the mouth, and
bursting with tropical fruits and a touch of minerality. The wine finishes long and
clean.
La Deliziosa Pinot Grigio - Italy
This crisp, dry white has all the hallmarks of Pinot Grigio. Citrus fruits on the nose with
a refreshing palate of zesty green apple and fresh pear. Ideal on its own but also a
perfect accompaniment to exotic dishes, salads and cold meats.
Klippenkop Chenin Blanc, Robertson 2016 - South Africa
Full bodied medium white wine with powerful varietal flavours of pineapple,
granadilla, melon and green apple. Good structure with lovely balancing acidity.
Shearwater Bay Sauvignon Blanc - New Zealand
Tasting this wine brings you rich tropical aromas of mango, melon and ripe citrus. The
wine is equally lush on the palate with excellent fruit concentration, a mineral derived
texture and a long juicy finish.
La Emperatriz Viura - Spain
Very pale yellow in colour, with a hint of green. Intense aromas of white fruits, flowers
and citrus, together with elements of creaminess. On the palate it is both full, but light,
with a refreshing acidity which balances out the richness. The after taste leaves a
sensation of juiciness.

This wine has a lovely golden colour with an impressive flowery bouquet and the
taste of apples and pears. It can be compared to a light, fragrant Sancerre. Light,
crisp, delicately fruity with a vivid acidity, well balanced.
Macon Villages Cave de Lugny - France
26.95
This is simply the perfect expression of the Mâconnais region. Sophisticated, fresh,
clean and crisp with an undeniable finesse and quality.
Sancerre Chavignol 2015/16, Pierre Martin - France
34.95
A perfect balance between zesty fruit and a subtle flinty smokiness enhanced by a
creamy texture in the mouth.
Domaine Chanson Chablis Montmains 1er Cru 2012
49.95
Bright gold colour, very fresh aromas of lemon and white fruit. Delicate vanilla note.
Beautiful mineral expression. Taut and linear. Sappy with a well-crafted acidity.
Refreshing aftertaste with a lingering minerality.

Sweet flavours of plum and black fruits dominate, background hints of sweet vanilla
and nutmeg add to the complexity of flavours. Tannins are soft and elegant giving the
wine a medium length and balance to the sweet fruit flavours.
Vinecrafter Merlot - South Africa
Another vote from the customers which ranks this as the best entry level Merlot
people have ever seen. This is a real crowd pleaser and shows real quality with
amazing fruit led structure, amazing body and balance, simply remarkable.
Kintu, Central Valley Cabernet Sauvignon - Chile
Attractive red ruby colour. Smooth and easy drinking with ripe berry and black
bramble flavours.
Malbec Finca La Chamiza - Argentina
An amazing blend... Vibrant red colours with violet tones. Delicate and balanced
blend of forest fruit and cherry aromas. Medium body displaying round tannins.
Vina Palaciega Rioja Crianza 2013 - Spain
This is a little cracker. There are so many Riojas on the market these days and what
a great choice this was. It is bursting with ripe black fruits and is so smooth and
balanced. It’s what we imagine drinking velvet would be like, with a little spice.
Perfect.
Spinyback Pinot Noir 2013 - New Zealand
True to the components used in the blend, this wine has rich tropical aromas of
mango, melon, and ripe citrus. Classic explosive NZ style, mineral derived texture
and a long juicy finish.

Stunning, stunning, stunning. Hand-picked Malbec grapes grown in selected high
altitude, clay based vineyards in the Uco Valley. Fermented in small concrete casks for
a rich, complex profile, this sublime wine boasts opulent ripe black fruit, black olive,
mint and vanilla over velvety tannins. Aged in French oak for 18 months for
outstanding texture and character to compliment a fine steak.
Pieter Cruythoff Middelpos Pinotage 2013 - South Africa
29.95
Dry land bush vines are farmed with distinct care and pride. Pieter Cruythoff
Middelpos is a low yield Swartland Pinotage, typical of its Mediterranean climate and
carefully matured in specially selected oak casks. Deep, dark, ruby red colour. Intense
red berries and raspberries on the nose. Good structure, full-bodied wine;
well-balanced with a sweetish tannic finish.
Barolo Ca’Bianca Tenementi 2011 - Italy
38.00
Low yield vines give this the clout you look for in a good Barolo. Garnet colour tending
towards strong blue; intense and ethereal bouquet of vanilla, cloves and clean
woodland undergrowth. Full, firm but velvety flavour with a fine, very lingering
aftertaste of liquorice and ripe red fruits.
Chateau Saint Valentin St Emilion Grand Cru 2010 - France
If you want to experience what Bordeaux will be like after 20yrs but don’t want to
wait, this is the one. The characteristics of a Bordeaux which has been lying down
for some time are so prominent here. That lovely garnet colour, very full body with
almost portish characteristics. This will literally knock your socks off and replace them
with the best slippers you have ever worn.

You have never had something like this, EVER! Put aside every dessert wine you have
ever had or any stereotype you have about them, you must try this.
A blushing pink bouquet of exotic fragrances of rose petals, musk and spicy Turkish
delight. Lightly sweet, delicately fizzy with a bright acidity and full of the fresh flavours

an enticing, bright finish.
Villa Sandi Il Fresco Spumante Prosecco - Italy
One of the leading Prosecco producers, recognised across the globe for its outstanding
award-winning wines. The winery is at the forefront of technology and innovation. Look
up refreshing in the dictionary and you will see a picture of this! Fruity and flowery with
delicate aromatic and citrus hints. Fresh and lively in the mouth. Light bodied and

An intense, pleasant fragrance, with fruit and brioche notes. Well-balanced and
pleasantly fresh to taste, with a remarkable fruity structure.
Laurent Perrier Cuvee Rose - France
Delightfully pink in colour with a bouquet of the fruits of summer.
Precise and very crisp aroma with a lasting impression of freshness, it has hints of soft

It has great length and is rounded and supple on the finish.
