Autréau-Roualet Reserve Brut Champagne NV, France, 12.5% - £38.00
Made by the Autréau family dating back to the 1960’s, this is a blend of 33% Pinot Noir and 67% Pinot Meunier that has spent 18 months ageing prior to disgorgement. Classically Champagne in style, biscuity on the nose following on to a fine palate with stone fruit notes and a lingering brioche finish. A really lovely house Champagne.
The Guru Chenin Blanc, South Africa, 13.5% - £17.65
This South African chenin blanc from the Western Cape region is a refreshing, fragrant summer wine with notes of lychee and kiwi. It has a good balance of fruit and acidity on the mid-palate followed by a clean finish. This chenin blanc goes well with shellfish, spicy food, lean fish and mild and soft cheeses . (Vegan) Contains sulphites
Apaltagua Reserva Chardonnay 2018, Casablanca Valley, Chile, 13.5% - £17.35
From the cooler Casablanca valley, this Apaltagua Reserva Chardonnay is a ripe, yet fresh and unoaked style. Apple and pear flavours, with subtle hints of passionfruit and pineapple, are round and mouth filling with a good freshness. Try this chardonnay with pork, rich fish dishes or poultry.
Misty Cove Sauvignon Blanc 2019, Marlborough, New Zealand, 13.5% - £21.60
From the Misty Cove Estate, Sauvignon Blanc has an enticing nose displaying aromas of grapefruit, blackcurrant leaf, kiwi fruit, elderflower and lime zest that follow onto the palate joined by a racy acidity and a razor sharp mineral finish. This goes very well with shellfish. A lovely dry and fairly light Sauvignon Blanc. (Vegan)
Viognier, Domaine Durban 2018, Vaucluse, France, Rhône Valley, 13% - £24.50
This viognier is smooth, rounded and full of floral, aromatic fruit flavours. With lovely tropical fruit aromas and a luscious palate of white stone fruit precede an elegant, dry finish. This Vaucluse Viognier is an obvious match for canapés and freshwater fish dishes. Also try with spicy food.

Echenor Malbec, Mendoza, Argentina, 14% - £15.85
This Argentinian Malbec is from the Mendoza region. It is a bold and dry red wine with many notes of blackberry and dark fruits, along with spicy notes and with oak and vanilla on the finish.

Apaltagua Reserva Carménère 2016, Colchagua, Chile, 14% - £17.25
This Apaltagua Reserva Carménère is an intense wine, wild purple in colour. From start to finish, the touches of tobacco and red and black cherries intermingle, producing a great potency in the mouth. It possesses a generous body with smooth and welcoming tannins. The wine is well rounded with a juicy and lingering finish. Try this Carménère with venison or beef.
Fleurie - Domaine Bouronière 2018, Beaujolais, Gamay, France, 12.5% - £25.50
Light, juicy and packed with red fruit flavours of strawberry and cherry - classic Beaujolais. Like all red Beaujolais, Fleurie is made from the Gamay grape at its best grown on granite. In its youth it has attractive raspberry, violet and cherry notes with subtle earthy granitic undertones – but with age it can develop wonderful farmyard notes and layers of complexity, not dissimilar to Pinot Noir. Try this with pork or soft cheeses.

Coming from Tempranillo grapes this wine is cherry red in colour. It has intense aromas with hints of wild, spicy red fruits. On the mouth it is intense with tones of cinnamon and a lingering finish. This wine works well with red meats, sausages, game, poultry and mature cheeses.
