Our Wines

Our delicious wines are selected from France through the fantastic Le Verre Gourmand. A selection of red, white and rose wine has been handpicked for you to complement your meal and your taste buds. Here is the list of our fabulous wines for this season:

The Whites

Domaine Horgelus Colombard Sauvignon 2014

The delicious combination of Colombard and Sauvignon wine offers here a pleasure , a sublime expression of the fruit of these two grape varieties grown in Gascony. Tastes like… Notes of white flowers, citrus and exotic fruits, which continue into the palate finishing with a light and crisp freshness.

Picpoul Cuvée Caroline 2014

Cuvée Caroline has been specially blended to be a gastronomic wine, with the body and balance that is perfect to accompany seafood and fish dishes. Bright and pale yellow wine with very fresh aromas of white flowers, acacia and hawthorn; fresh and saline palate but with a slight roundness for a Picpoul. This is a “gourmet” Picpoul.

Les Roitilières Muscadet 2013

This Muscadet is a white wine which is fresh and dry with sweet aromas which charms anyone who drinks it and accompanies many different dishes. Beautiful golden colour, this is an elegant and fresh wine with aromas of citron and minerality. Look for notes of soft pears on the palate with element s of freshness.

The Reds

Domaine Montplo

This is a great modern-style red blend from the South of France - full of juicy red and black fruit flavours, alongside a spot of spice and warmth. It's not too heavy, so it will work best alongside slightly lighter red meat dishes - or even poultry. The addition of 10% Cabernet Sauvignon to the Grenache and Carignan gives the wine just a bit more ooomph, while retaining its easy-going character.

Fico Grande Sangiovese

Fruity, delicious and easy-drinking. The name is a tribute to the extraordinary fig tree which dominates the vineyard where the grapes for this wine are grown. Fruity, medium-bodied and savoury with its characteristic cherry and violet aromas. It is a wine for everyday drinking with its soft and delicate tannins.

Marquis de la Coronne Côtes du Rhône 2013

With a brilliant and intense colour, this wine doesn’t disappoint. A nose of blackcurrants and blackberries is accompanied by strong hints of spice, pepper and herbs. This fresh, bright and juicy Côtes-du-Rhône shows all the classic Rhône notes of dark berry fruits and spice—particularly pepper and Provencal herbs such as rosemary.

Rose

Mas du Canal Rose

For refreshing, pale, dry, yet crisply fruity rose, look no further than this wine from the south of France. It is delightfully fresh and zingy on the palate, with bright red fruits (redcurrants, raspberries) lighting things up. It is seriously thirst-quenching stuff.

The Fizz

Bel Star Prosecco

This delicious sparkling wine comes from the Veneto region of northeast Italy. It is soft, fruity and refreshing sparkling wine with citrus, pear and floral flavours and aromas. Fresh apple and pear aromas with a hint of blossom. Medium-bodied with citrus fruit, creamy mousse and a fresh, clean finish. From the beautiful Valdobbiadene region, the Bisol family are masters of Prosecco and have been making wine for centuries. All the grapes come their own land which is something extremely rare in the region.

Note: At the beginning of each season some of the wines may be unavailable and so we may substitute for other wines of equal quality
