WINE LIST DEAR GUEST With advice and expertise from local wine expert Susy Atkins, we have endeavoured to put together a comprehensive wine menu, which gives a varied selection of styles, both new and old world. We hope you enjoy the selections and Susy s top recommendations are in GOLD. SUSY S COMMENTS: I ve delved deeply into a diverse world of exciting grapes and styles and have come up with an inspiring range, whether it s a new-wave, fashionable Spanish white like Verdejo, or a fine New Zealand sparkler such as Cloudy Bay Pelorus, or one of the top South West English wines, made on our doorstep. They are all premium wines, but I believe, offer particularly good value. I have chosen them because they are excellent to pair with food. Look out for my selected labels, highlighted on the wine list in italics. There will be more appearing over the next few months. I really hope you enjoy them! Susy Atkins (BBC1 s Saturday Kitchen wine expert, and wine columnist for The Sunday Telegraph magazine) January 2016.

CABERNET SAUVIGNON The classic profile of Cabernet Sauvignon tends to be full-bodied wines with high tannins and noticeable acidity that contributes to the wine s aging potential. In cooler climates, Cabernet Sauvignon tends to produce wines with blackcurrant notes that can be accompanied by green bell pepper notes, mint and cedar which will all become more pronounced as the wine ages. In more moderate climates the blackcurrant notes are often seen with black cherry and black olives notes while in very hot climates the blackcurrant flavours can veer towards the over-ripe and jammy side. In parts of Australia, particularly the Coonawarra wine region of South Australia, Cabernet Sauvignon wines tend to have a characteristic eucalyptus or menthol notes. 87 14 69 63 Brends Hotels, Cabernet Sauvignon, Australia - Easy drinking wine bringing out the blueberry and plum flavours and a soft oak finish. La Joya Grand Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon, Chile - Aroma of black fruit and crème de cassis with hints of clove and nutmeg. This wine has great volume and intensity of fruity flavours and spices. Monty s Hill Cabernet Shiraz, Australia - On the nose there are initial smokey notes along with blackberries and raspberries with a hint of black pepper. The palate is big, rich and full with flavours of cherries, black plums and bramble. Esk Valley Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot - If you thought New Zealand only made serious white wine, try this extraordinarily good, finely balanced and ripe blend from the North Island hot spot of Hawke s Bay. Beautifully made and one for red meat. 2014 20 2014 27 2013/14 24 2012 37 MERLOT While Merlot is made across the globe, there tends to be two main styles. The International style favoured by many New World wine regions tends to emphasis late harvesting to gain physiological ripeness and produce inky, purple coloured wines that are full in body with high alcohol and lush, velvety tannins with intense, plum and blackberry fruit. While this international style is practiced by many Bordeaux wine producers, the traditional Bordeaux style of Merlot involves harvesting Merlot earlier to maintain acidity and producing more medium-bodied wines with moderate alcohol levels that have fresh, red fruit flavours (raspberries, strawberries) and potentially leafy, vegetable notes. 21 3 Concha Y Toro Mountain Range Merlot, Chile Central Valley - Soft juicy style of merlot easy drinking with a plumy character and good body. Antoine Moueix, St. Emillion Grand Cru, France, Bordeaux - A wine with a ruby colour and a complex aroma with a taste of cinnamon. The wine is dry and medium bodied. 2014 22 2012/13 40 1 Canyon Road Merlot, USA - Dark fruits with hints of mocha and spice. 2013/14 23 SHIRAZ The style and flavour profile of wines made from Shiraz is influenced by the climate where the grapes are grown with moderate climates (such as the northern Rhone Valley) tending to produce medium to full-bodied wines with medium-plus to high levels of tannins and flavours of blackberry, mint and black pepper notes. In hot climates (such as the Barossa Valley of Australia), Shiraz is more consistently full-bodied with softer tannin, jammier fruit and spice notes of liquorice, anise and earthy leather. In many regions the acidity and tannin levels of Shiraz allows the wines produced from the grape to have favourable ageing potential. 68 79 88 53 51 Grand Cepages, Syrah, France - Deep purple red in colour with spicy pepper notes and cassis on the nose. Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz, Australia - Opulent red berries, spice and violet characters are captured in this classic shiraz. Boschendal Pavillion Shiraz Viognier, South Africa - Sumptuous dark red fruits with hints of spice and pepper. Good length finish. Kloovenberg Shiraz, South Africa - A great example of shiraz from SA. Dark fruits dominate the palate backed up with a smokey, spicy flavour, rich and full bodied. Hanging Snakes Shiraz-Viognier, Australia - Very ripe and rich, with a heart of sweet blackcurrants, plus nuances of liquorice and chocolate, this South Aussie red finishes on a fresh, not heavy note. Roll it out for lamb or roast pork. 2014 23 2013/14 26 2013/14 23 2012/13 35 2013 35
PINOT NOIR When young, wines made from Pinot Noir tend to have red fruit aromas of cherries, raspberries and strawberries. As the wines age, Pinots have the potential to develop earthy and savoury aromas that can contribute to the complexity of the wine. 58 84 13 17 Babich, Pinot Noir, New Zealand, East Coast - Fragrant and supple with spicy cherry flavours, a delicate light bodied wine. Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir, New Zealand - Aroma of dark plums and spice enhanced by liquorice and hints of smokey oak.

The flavour is very fruity with good concentration. 2014 29 2013/14 47 2013 35 2013 30 TEMPRANILLO Tempranillo is very often used on its own in Spain, and is a fine grape with flavours of strawberry and cherry and has a good structure. It is also often blended with other varieties, such as Grenache and Carignan (known in Rioja as Mazuelo), or aged for extended periods in oak where the wine easily takes on the flavour of the barrel. 48 2 Solar Viejo Rioja, Reserva, Spain, Rioja - As the wine opens up the ripe fruit flavours begin to awaken; bringing aromas of plums, black and red cherries, liquorice, old spice and cinnamon. Monologo Crianza, Spain - It is an approachable aged oaked Riojo with aromas of ripe red fruit and liquorice and vanilla. 2011 33 2013 25

CHARDONNAY The Chardonnay grape itself is very versatile, with many of the flavours commonly associated with the grape being derived from such influences as terroir and oak. It is vinified in many different styles, from the lean, crisply mineral wines of Chablis, France to New World wines with oak, and tropical fruit flavours. In cool climates, Chardonnay tends to be medium to light body with noticeable acidity and flavours of green plum, apple and pear. In warmer locations the flavours become more citrus, peach and melon while in very warm locations more fig and tropical fruit notes such as banana and mango come out. 9 92 6 41 8 60 65 35 10 Grand Cepages, Chardonnay, France - On the nose the cool climate gives the wine aromas of apple and pineapple.

Its fruit varies from green to grey and even pink when very ripe. The wines produced can be pale in colour, light, simple and refreshing through to very rich and pale pink in hue. Italy s Pinot Grigio tends towards the lighter style while the Pinot Gris of France and New Zealand are much richer and sometimes off-dry. 128 129 33 55 Terrazze de la Luna, Pinot Grigio, Italy, Trentino - Floral and complex this is a fine example of Pinot Grigio.

SAUVIGNON BLANC Depending on the climate, the flavour of Sauvignon Blanc can range from aggressively grassy to sweetly tropical. In cooler climates, the grape has a tendency to produce wines with noticeable acidity and green flavours of grass, green bell peppers and nettles with some tropical fruit (such as passion fruit) and floral (such as elderflower) notes. In warmer climates, it can develop more tropical fruit notes but risks losing a lot of aromatics from over-ripeness, leaving only slight grapefruit and tree fruit (such as peach) notes. 130 Expressions, Sauvignon Blanc, France, Bordeaux - Crisp and fresh with hints of tropical fruits. 2014 27 54 29 56 73 75 30 Babich, Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand, Marlborough - Complex ripe tropical fruit characteristics backed up with classic Sauvignon citrus and grapefruit flavours, highly recommended.
