Zesty aromas of lemon, grapefruit and elder ower give way to a classically crisp palate with hints of white peach and a refreshing finish. A great value accompaniment to the starters.

25.00Sancerre “La Gravelière” Joseph Mellot, Loire, France (12.5%)
Sancerre is one of the Loire Valley’s, and hence the world’s, top Sauvignon Blanc wines. This ‘cuvee’ undergoes a lengthier skin contact than is usual which results in greater depth and weight in flavour.

25.00 - Rich & Deep White Wines
-
Orvieto Classico Amabile, Bigi, Italy (11.5%)
This traditional, off-dry style of Orvieto has fresh, ripe, peach and apricot flavours and a hint of almonds. The softer style helps to counter-point and open up complex spice flavours. Works with all the starters, especially – and perhaps surprisingly – with Lahori Lamb or Sigri.
22.00Conde Valdemar Viura/Verdejo, Rioja, Spain (12.5%)
Fresh, intense aromas of fruits and white flowers, dominated by apple and pear nuances. Fruity and fresh on the palate with a crisp finish.

A new wine from Sicily, that offers freshness with depth of flavour and a spicy twist that compliments many of our dishes. Highly recommended!
24.00Pinot Gris René Muré, Alsace, France (13%)
A really lovely wine! Quite a subtle nose of aromatic and floral elements that go well with starters, but the wine has depth to perfectly match Tikka Masala, a combination that makes both the wine and the food sing – a delightful experience!
30.00Founders Block Sauvignon Blanc, Katnook Estate, Coonawarra, Australia (13%)
This is a classy New World Sauvignon, with some green notes: grass and without the excesses of Asparagus or tropical fruit. Very clean and fresh with the crispness and depth of fruit to match many dishes – try it with our Salmon Tikka, or any fish dish!
30.00Gavi di Gavi “La Toledana” Villa Lantana, Piemonte, Italy (13%)
With peach, pear, hints of citrus and a slight honeyed edge held together by steely minerality and acidity, this complex wine is a delight with so many dishes. It has the weight to cope with anything, but sets off chicken dishes exceptionally.
32.00Organic Chablis, Jean-Marc Brocard, Burgundy, France (13%)
The is a warmer style of Chablis with light fruity aromas and the characteristic steely citrus acidity giving way to a warm mineral line that dances elegantly with fish and seafood dishes. Wonderful with John Dory.
39.00Pouilly-Fuissé “Les Ancolies” (Loron), Burgundy, France (13%)
A dry yet rich white Burgundy from this most prestigious of the Mâconnais vineyards. It is a Chardonnay that combines honeyed peachy richness with a citrus freshness, a match to Tandoor dishes.
43.00Mersault, Louis Jadot Burgundy, France (13%)
White Burgundy from the most iconic village and a good producer. Loads of fresh peach and floral aromas with touches of citrus and a hint of toasted almonds. Buttery and rich enough to match up with any creamy sauce.
56.00 - Sweet Wines
-
Deakin Estate Moscato, Victoria, Australia (6%)
A nose of sweet grape (yes - a wine with grape flavours!) and mandarin fruit, with a light, slightly spritzy palate with sweet fruit and refreshing apple acidity. For those with a sweeter tooth, perfect to accompany a meal, or to accompany salty, spicy hors-d’oeuvre.
25.00Morandé Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc, Casablanca, Chile (13.5%)
Rich, fresh and complex, this late-harvest dessert-wine balances sweetness with intense quince fruit and notes of orange peel. Full and honeyed in the mouth, but always with that citrus cut of Sauvignon Blanc, this is a versatile match for a great many desserts.
22.00Ferreira Quinta do Porto 10 Year Old Tawny, Portugal (19.5%)
The nose is characterised by an excellent balance between the floral and ripe fruit aromas of the grapes themselves and the spicy, dry fruit aromas of long ageing in barrel. The perfect way to finish your meal at Memsaab.

-
Terres d’Azur Merlot, Languedoc, France (13.5%)
Rich berry and plum aromas with hints of spice and chocolate lead onto a soft, smooth palate with generous fruit and smoky notes.
22.00Apulia Zinfandel, Puglia, Italy (13.5%)
Zinfandel (aka Primitivo) offers us here a delightful wine with redcurrant and raspberry fruit flavours. Deliciously juicy, a real fruit-bomb of a wine!
24.00Morandé Pionero Pinot Noir Reserva, Casablanca, Chile (13%)
A pure and elegant Pinot Noir with notes of raspberry and gentle spice on the nose. The palate is light and silky in texture, giving refreshment, while the fruit counterpoints our starters, drier dishes like Chicken Tikka, or even fish curries.
24.00Salice Salentino 35 Parellelo, Puglia, Italy (13.7%)
Juicy, red and dark fruit-packed wine with a smooth, slightly smoky finish.
24.00Cabernet Sauvignon Deakin Estate, Victoria, Australia (13.5%)
A supple, elegant Cabernet, full of black fruit, warm spices and hints of cedar and oak. The palate is juicy, with a nice savoury, but not aggressive, finish.
25.00Gevrey-Chambertin, Louis Jadot Burgundy, France (13%)
A sumptuous Pinot Noir from a very famous Village and a good producer. A deep colour with a berry and red fruit bouquet, a full tannic structure and a lasting finish. This powerful and perfumed wine requires elaborate, full flavoured foods.
54.00 - Fuller Bodied Reds
-
Pinotage Kleine Zalze, Stellenbosch, South Africa (14.5%)
A very modern style of Pinotage, with a deep, fruity nose and rich berry flavours with hints of prunes and without those harsh tannins which are often found in other versions. This helps it complement the hottest Jalfrezie curry or Chicken Karahai.
22.00Shiraz/Viognier Artisan’s Blend, Victoria, Australia (13.5%)
This Côte-Rôtie -inspired blend offers a complex nose starting with blackberry fruit, a higher oral note and some with sweet spicy notes. The palate is smooth and fruit-driven, with plum appearing alongside the blackberries, there is also pepper, and bay. Shiraz sometimes shows saltiness, conflicting with the food – but this succulent example does not and is the perfect partner with our Lamb Shank and Keema dishes!
24.00Feudo Arancio Nero d’Avola, Sicilia, Italy (13%)
A superb new find for our list. This Sicilian shows slightly sweet fruit with a hint of redcurrant sharpness, lifting the palate and making a refreshing match for drier spicy Lamb dishes. Try it with Keema Matar.
25.00Finca La Colonia Malbec, Norton Estate, Argentina (14%)
A light fruity, more elegant style of Malbec with no less succulent fruit – cherry and berry in this case, with a slightly herby tannic frame and a soft finish ideally framing Jalfrezie dishes... and many other curries.
25.00Rioja Reserva, Conde de Valdemar, Spain (13.5%)
A beautifully aged Rioja that makes the perfect partner for a range our lamb and other rich dishes. Dry yet rounded with complex aromas: red fruit, leather and vanilla, and a long rounded palate. Excellent with our cuisine and excellent value.
30.00Brolo di Campo orin (baby Amarone) Masi, Veneto, Italy (14%)
Essentially a baby Amarone, produced by the most famous name in Amarone production today, Masi. An impressive, complex nose of berry fruits and a touch of vanilla. Rich, baked fruit flavours on the palate with hints of cocoa. Impressive structure and length, with a soft and velvety finish. Enough oomph to cope with anything!
35.00Barolo “Il Bastione”, Piemonte, Italy (14%)
Intense garnet red, with a typical violet and rose scented aroma. Aged for 3 years in large oak barrel it has smooth tannins and concentrated developed savoury fruit flavours. A strong wine to complement strong flavours.
49.00
