Founded by Nicolas Ruinart in 1729, Ruinart has some of the most interesting history of all the
Grand Marque houses.
Indeed, it can be said that Ruinart was the first actual ‘Champagne’ House. The elegant bottle
shape is inspired by the first bottles from the 18th Century used to produce Champagne.
The famous Cuvée made by the house is their Blanc de Blancs range made from 100%
Chardonnay. Their top cuvée the ‘Dom Ruinart’ is also a blanc de blancs. The R de Ruinart is
a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

English Wines
The English wine industry is a comparative young upstart compared to its continental
cousins. However, with advances in technology and wine makers unperturbed by the
inclement weather some quality wines are now being produced. Sparkling wine has

producers of still wine in the country.

the way east, to the foothills of the Alps and the border with Italy. This large area produces

ALSACE WHITES
In the west of the country right up against the German border, this beautiful scenic region

Gewürztraminer, and perhaps best of all, the moreish dry Riesling.

RHONE VALLEY WHITES
This region follows another famous river, the Rhône, which flows from the Alps to the
Mediterranean. Northern parts of the region produce a delicious Viognier from Condrieu.
Marsanne and Roussanne are used in Crozes-Hermitage, whilst further south in the famed
Châteauneuf-du-Pape area, a huge multitude of grapes are blended to make an incredible,
rich, sophisticated and serious white.
Bottle
142. 2010 Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe £110.00
BURGUNDIAN WHITES
Arguably the best region for white wines in the world, Burgundy is certainly one of the most
famous. All the whites in this section are made with Chardonnay, yet all of them are different
in style, showing the incredible diversity of the Burgundian landscape. Crisp dry unoaked
Chablis is made in the north, while much rounder, richer full-bodied whites are made in the
Villages of Chassagne, Puligny and Meursault. These villages produce some of the most
sought-after white wine in the world.

BORDEAUX WHITE
Whilst more renowned for its red wine, lovely dry Sauvignon and Sémillon wines are
fashioned in Bordeaux. Our only dry white Bordeaux is made by a Château more well known
for their sweet ones, however this one is beautifully rich and dry, the perfect foil to grilled fish
Bottle 150. 2017 Le "G" de Château Guiraud £59.00
13
White Wines Of The World
ITALIAN WHITES
Italy is home to a diverse range of wines, from the unusual Müller Thurgau in the north to
more rounded riper ones like Garganega from Soave. One of my favourites, Gavi is fresh,
lean, very dry and made from the Cortese grape
Bottle 21. 2019 Pinot Grigio Ca’ Tesore, Friuli £36.00
155. 2018 Pinot Grigio, Villa Sandi, Veneto £40.00 156. 2017 Soave Classico, Ca’ Visco Coffele £54.00 157. 2016 Müller Thurgau, Fenner zu Fennberg, Trentino £109.00 158. 2019 Gavi ‘I Risi’, Mario Giribaldi, Piedmont £44.00 159. 2018 Grillo, Rupe Secca, Sicily £34.00
SPANISH WHITES
Spain, another country producing a huge variety of wine styles. Delicious oak-aged white
Riojas are serious food wines, whilst the fabulous Albariño from Galicia in the north west can
make for an interesting alternative to Sauvignon Blanc. Godello, also from the north is a
much smoother rounded white, maybe even comparable to some Burgundies.
Bottle 175. 2015 Blanco Reserva, Rioja Vega, Rioja £126.00
29. 2018 Tempranillo Blanco, Rioja Vega, Rioja £43.00 176. 2019 Albariño, ‘Bernon' Bodegas Aquitania, Rias Baixas £42.00
PORTUGUESE WHITES
White wine is not the first thing to spring to mind when thinking of Portugal, however they
really make delicious whites. From the crisp approachable Coroa d’Ouro to the much more
full bodied and rich Branco da Ribeira.
Bottle 190. 2018 Coroa d’Ouro, Douro Valley £36.00 191. 2018 Vale de Cavalos, Manoel Poças, Douro Valley £45.00 192. 2017 Branco da Ribeira, Manoel Poças, Douro Valley £132.00
14
GERMAN WHITES
Germany is famed for its Riesling and rightly so. It is potentially the world’s most varied
grape, producing the rich, slightly sweet Spätlese and the off-dry Kabinett. Some would
argue that these are the greatest whites in the world and Riesling the most noble variety.
Bottle 195. 2018 Riesling Kabinett, Winzergenossenschaft, Moselland £34.00
196. 2003 Trittenheimer, Spätlese Riesling, Gymnasium, Mosel £66.00

199. 1999 Berg Rotland Riesling Spätlese, Kloster Eberbach, Rheingau £75.00
AUSTRIAN WHITE
Historically much maligned, the Austrian wine industry is now producing beautiful wines,
right up there with the best the rest of Europe has to offer. The most famous native variety is
Grüner Veltliner producing a classic dry white, floral and mineral with a hint of spice.
Bottle 205. 2018 Grüner Veltliner Kamptaler, Weingut Bründlmayer £63.00
HUNGARIAN WHITES
Hungary is famous for producing Tokaji Aszú a concentrated sweet wine, however, they also
produce an interesting range of whites. Their Dry Furmints are the same grape as is used for
the sweet one however dry, intensely perfumed and clean.
Bottle 210. 2016 Talisman Dry Furmint £37.00
20. 2018 Talisman Grüner Veltliner £34.00
GREEK WHITE
In a continent with some incredible vinous history, the wine industry in Greece is
undoubtedly one of the oldest. The Skouras wine here is from Peloponnese made from
native grapes. It has lovely floral aromatics and citrus fruits on the palate.
Bottle 215. 2017 Cuvée Prestige White, Domaine Skouras, Peloponnese £39.00
15
AUSTRALIAN WHITES
One of the largest producers of wine in the world, Australian wine continues to go from
strength to strength. Their modern Chardonnays can give some Burgundies a run for their
money, whilst Riesling and Semillon have found a home in the Clare Valley.
Bottle 24. 2019 Chardonnay, Kingston Estate, Padthaway £49.00
261. 2015 Growers’ Sémillon, Mitchell, Claire Valley £46.00 262. 2017 Watervale Riesling, Mitchell, Claire Valley £48.00
NEW ZEALAND WHITES
Home to Marlborough and its own quintessential style of Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand has
so much more to offer than just this one varietal. Chardonnay is well established and
producing great wines at much better value for money than elsewhere in the world. Look
out for Felton Road, undoubtedly one of the country’s great producers of red as well as
white.
Bottle 22. 2019 Sauvignon Blanc, Kuki, Marlborough £42.00
281. 2019 Sauvignon Blanc, Cloudy Bay, Marlborough £89.00
284. 2016 Chardonnay, Declaration, CJ Pask, Hawkes Bay £63.00
SOUTH AFRICAN WHITES
The quality of wine here has increased exponentially over the last decade or so in South
Africa with some fantastic small family owned and run operations. I have focused here a lot
on the Avondale Winery, who produce an incredibly good range of wines from their organic
and biodynamic vineyards.
Bottle 25. 2017 Jonty’s Ducks, (Chenin Blanc blend) Avondale Estate, Paarl £53.00
291. 2016 Anima Chenin Blanc, Avondale Estate, Paarl £64.00
292. 2014 Cyclus, Avondale Estate, Paarl £76.00
293. 2019 Freedom Cross Chardonnay, Franschhoek £34.00
16
CHILEAN WHITES
South America is primarily famed for its robust and rich red wines, although some great
whites are now made in Chile. Whilst they produce some other more well-known varietals,
they are starting to put their own mark on Varietals like Marsanne/ Roussanne blends, made
in an Old-World style with New World technology which makes them incredible value for
money.
Bottle 300. 2019 Sauvignon Blanc, Tonada, Central Valley £34.00
301. 2019 Chardonnay, Turi, Central Valley £35.00
302. 2017 Roussanne Marsanne Gran Reserva, Los Romeros, Colchagua £41.00
27. 2017 Gewürztraminer, Reserva, Los Romeros, Central Valley £38.00
USA WHITES
The US makes some of the best wine outside of Europe, sadly high production costs don’t
make these the most accessible of wines. However, what you do have are wines made with
real care by winemakers who have studied at the most prestigious properties in Europe.
They specialise in producing small amounts of ‘boutique’ wine in a myriad of styles.
Bottle 320. 2016 Viognier, Cristom Vineyards, Willamette, Oregon £105.00 321. 2015 Chardonnay, Longboard, Russian River Valley, California £145.00 322. 2016 Grenache Blanc, Priest Ranch, Napa Valley, California £80.00
17
Rosé Wines Of The World
For our rosé wine selection, I have chosen some of what I think to be the world’s best
examples of this incredibly popular drink. From the dry super crisp styles of Provence, to
fuller richer Rioja rosados, and slightly sweeter zinfandel wine from the States, I think there is
something for everyone here. The ‘Camissa’ from South Africa is especially superb and
could best some of the best from Provence, a serious wine!
Bottle 32. 2019 Côtes de Provence, Henri Gaillard, France £44.00
401. 2019 Sancerre Rosé, Domaine Sylvain Bailly, France £56.00 402. 2019 Rioja Rosé, Bodegas Bagordi S.L. Spain £34.00 404. 2017 Camissa, Avondale Estate, South Africa £61.00
31. 2019 Zinfandel, Angels Flight, USA £40.00

French Red Wines
SOUTHERN FRENCH REDS
Relatively rustic in style, with moreish dark fruits, the wines from southern France are mostly
made with grape varieties like Grenache, Carignan, Mourvèdre, Syrah as well as more
unusual grapes like Tannat.

19
LOIRE VALLEY REDS
More famed for its delicate refreshing whites, the Loire Valley region makes some lovely light
Pinot Noirs and delicious, savoury Cabernet Francs. Relatively undiscovered compared to
France’s more famous regions it makes for some great fun discoveries.

442. 2008 Anjou, La Croix de la Mission, Domaine des Rochelles £59.00
BEAUJOLAIS REDS

Gone are the days of Beaujolais Nouveau, many growers now focus on natural techniques
resulting in light but very fruit forward wines with some gamey flavours coming through in the
best.

483. 2011 Moulin-à-Vent ‘La Rochelle’, Olivier Merlin £85.00
47. 2018 Beaujolais Village, Gry-Sablon £38.00
20
BURGUNDIAN REDS
Undisputedly the most refined and elegant red wine in the world, Burgundy is the home of Pinot
Noir, which has been grown here for centuries. The result is a somewhat over complicated
system of vineyard designations which can be a bit of a minefield. We have sieved through the
multitudes to present this selection of some of the best.

BORDEAUX REDS
Without doubt, Bordeaux is one of, if not THE world’s most famous wine producing region,
making dry reds from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot.

wines, whilst regions on the other side of the river are led by Cabernet Sauvignon.

Red Wines Of The World
ITALIAN REDS
Italy is the world’s largest producer of wine and enjoys huge success with both its own native
grape varieties as well as international varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon. In the north the
Piedmont is home to the noble Nebbiolo grape and grown in Barolo and Barbaresco to
make ‘the wine of kings. In Tuscany, Sangiovese makes wonderful Chiantis and is also
blended with Cabernet to make rich and sumptuous ‘Super-Tuscans’; wines that challenge
the best Bordeaux has to offer. Further South, grape varieties like Nero d’Avola make
wonderful approachable easy drinking reds.

SPANISH REDS
Spain is home to the ubiquitous Rioja and the Tempranillo grape which is used across the
country. As well as big brooding Grenache and Carignan blends from Priorat. If you want
something smooth and subtle with great oak flavours, go for any of the ‘reservas’ and for
something a bit different try the incredible blends by Trio Infernal.

740. 2017 Pesquera Crianza, Bodegas A Fernández, Ribera del Duero £72.00
PORTUGUESE REDS
Portugal is rapidly becoming known for its dry reds which up until recently had been kept by
the Portuguese for themselves! A lot of the wines will take on the very best from Ribera Del
Duero in Spain. While wine from Dão in the north are a much lighter and supple style.
Bottle 770. 2018 Dão Gandarada, Boas Quintas £35.00 771. 2017 Vale de Cavalos, Manoel Poças, Douro Valley £47.00 772. 2016 Reserva, Manoel Poças, Douro Valley £72.00 773. 2015 Símbolo, Manoel Poças, Douro Valley £139.00
LEBANESE REDS
Historically the near east has some of the oldest evidence of wine making. Despite
Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley being perfectly situated for producing wine and there being many
wineries, only one continues to shine with consistency and longevity. A world class wine that
seems able to age forever!

AUSTRALIAN REDS
Famous for its big full-bodied high alcohol Shiraz wines, Australian wine making has become
a little more restrained recently. The wines becoming more elegant, yet still retaining that
great depth and richness of flavour. Lovely full bodied and warming wines.

NEW ZEALAND REDS
New Zealand is producing some of the world’s best New World Pinot Noir; it has its own
style and has many followers who compare this favourably to Burgundy. We have focussed
here on the producer Felton Road, one of New Zealand’s top wine estates.

valley inspired wines.

ARGENTINIAN REDS
Malbec and beef are a pairing that is hard to beat. From reserve style wines to much more
fruit forward examples, Argentina has really put its own stamp on the grape. The wines here
show what a world class producer Argentina has become.
Bottle 845. 2019 Malbec, Las Pampas, Mendoza £34.00

CHILEAN REDS
Like its neighbour Argentina, Chile is now producing excellent quality wines. Although they
have had immense success with the usual red varieties like Merlot and Cabernet, they have
managed to make the unusual Carmenere their own. This variety used to be found in
Bordeaux, but the Chileans have made it an incredible alternative to a good Malbec.
Bottle 40. 2019 Merlot, El Picador, Central Valley £34.00 49. 2018 Carmenere Gran Reserva, Santa Luz, Cachapoal Valley £37.00
USA REDS
American reds are now regarded to be amongst the very best in their world with Napa
Cabernets having stolen the crown from Bordeaux as far back as the mid 70’s. As well as the
big names from California, Oregon is producing world class Pinot Noirs with a real
Burgundian flare.

Dessert Wines
I have put together a superb selection of sweet and sticky dessert wines, covering a huge
range of styles from classical Sauternes to more unusual Spanish varieties. Worth noting the
bottle size, a 50cl bottle is often perfect for a couple of people to share. They don’t just have
to be drunk with desserts either, Sauternes especially makes for a delightful aperitif!
