Sancerre “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. This wine has beautiful oral and grapefruit aromas and is ably supported by a lovely long finish, a classy frame for our cuisine.

Spicy notes with flint and citrus fruit aromas on the nose, followed by a subtle palate showing beautiful minerality and notes of lemon.

Founders 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!

Gavi 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.

Organic 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.

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.

Morandé 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.

Ferreira Quinta do Porto 10 Year Old Tawny, Portugal (19.5%)

Morandé 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.

Juicy, red and dark fruit-packed wine with a smooth, slightly smoky finish.

Gevrey-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.

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.

Shiraz/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!

Feudo 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.

Finca 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.

Rioja 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.

Brolo 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!

Barolo “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.
