Honeyed, floral aromas are joined on the palate with apple and lemon flavours. 3 Chardonnay, Tall Horse, South Africa Generous tropical fruit and vanilla oak aromas. A luscious, rich and creamy palate packed with ripe fruit and spicy vanilla flavours. 4 Rioja Blanco, Dom Ramos, Spain Made from 100% unoaked Viura, this is a young, clean, crisp, fresh Rioja Blanco. Hints of white flowers and pear drops, backed with good, racy acidity. 5 Picpoul de Pinet, Les Jeantels, France The grapes are always picked prior to 9am to reduce vine stress. Fresh orchard fruit aromas lead into a refreshing palate with elegant citrus hints. 6 Old Coach Road Sauvignon Blanc Seifried Estate, New Zealand A lovely, fragrant nose full of gooseberry aromas leading into a palate bursting with fresh, fruity flavours and a balancing, zingy acidity. Opulent and refreshing, this is a tantalising wine. 7 Neuburger, Tinhof, Austria Green and yellow in colour, brilliant aromas of citrus and pineapples followed by a lively structure. 8 Mâcon-Lugny Les Genièvres Maison Louis Latour, France 100% unoaked Chardonnay this is a beautiful wine with Muscat-like floral and fruity aromas followed by notes of liquorice. 9 Chablis, Gérard Tremblay, France Gérard Tremblay produces the most elegant style of Chablis very mineral, clean and unspoiled by excessive oak. An old-fashioned and worthy style. Good, honeyed fruit on the nose with crisp, steely fruit on the palate.

4 Red Wines 1 175ml 250ml bottle 10 Sangiovese, Arche, Italy Made by Mario Ruggani, this is a lovely, soft, spicy Sangiovese. Dark ruby in colour with herbaceous cherries and violets on the nose. This is a great Italian! 11 Cosmina, Pinot Noir, Romania Dark, rich and potent with layers of complex black cherry, raspberry and cinnamon. Spicy aromas lead into a lingering aftertaste. 12 Merlot, Franschhoek Cellar, South Africa This dark plum coloured wine has aromas of the forest floor, Christmas cake and red cherries which follow through onto the palate, finishing fresh and clean. Fabulously fruity with a supple texture. 13 Malbec, Montañés, Argentina A nose of spicy mocha underlines the open fruitiness of the Malbec grape. The taste is rich and vibrant with dark red fruits. 14 Rioja Crianza, Bodegas LAN, Spain Brilliant red cherry colour with violet hues. Elegant ageing aromas with a dominance of cherry and violet flavours. 15 Roccamora, Schola Sarmenti, Italy Explosive aromas of spice, leather and tobacco with a fruity finish. This is a vigorous wine that will tantalise your palate with its velvety structure, softened by light tannins that leave a nice, lingering aftertaste. 16 Shiraz, Chocolate Box, Australia Strong aromas of coffee, chocolate, blackberries and spice fill the glass, supported with sweet vanilla oak. A long, silky-smooth finish awaits all. 17 Gigondas, La Référence, France Silky and velvety with plenty of ripe, black fruit aromas and mouth-filling flavours of black liquorice, chocolate and raspberries.
