Specials

WHITE
Il Palù Pinot Grigio - Friuli Grave, Italy

This favoursome Pinot Grigio is dry and fruity with slightly smoky notes. The development of this Ciller Alavour profile is aided by the cooler climate of Trentino's Alpine vineyards.


RED
Martinfort Carignan, Sélection Vieilles Vignes - Vin de France

Round, full and soft red with good chunky fruit and excellent concentration. There are a lot of old Carignan vines in the south of France and from low yields they make wonderfully characterful wine.


ROSÉ
Foxcover White Zinfandel - California, USA

A beautiful coral pink in colour. Delicate and refreshing with soft fruit flavours of _strawberries and peaches.


SPARKLING
Freixenet Cordon Rosado, Cava Brut - Spain

Fragrant with hints of vanilla over strawberry fruit, soft and easy. Freixenet is one of the major Cava houses producing top quality wines by the Champagne method.
