An unoaked Chardonnay that develops ripe fruit and a rounded structure for easy drinking.

Fabulously aromatic nose with a perfect structure and balance, from a proprietaire in Chavignol.

Classic Kiwi kit, this - gooseberries and nettles, with lots of elegant tropical fruit that just keeps going and going. This is mouth-wateringly moreish.

Aresti Gewurzttraminer, Chile	2.70	15.25
Looked at this instead of one of those full-on petrol Alsaces, as Chile has significantly different sunshine, rainfall, and viniculture. See what the difference is: this is smoother and more floral, but is still distinctive in style.

Semillion and Chardonnay give this wine deep lemony citrus flavours with hints of honeysuckle.
Pouilly Fumé, Jean Pabiot, France		31.50

Full-bodied yet smooth and dry in flavour. An easy quaffing Italian number.
Light and Fruity
Cotes de Nuits St George, Nicholas Potel, Burgundy		37.00
The earthy nose of cherry and liquorice tells you this is proper kit - the subtlety of this fine Burgundy is a welcome relief from those interminable New World fruit-bombs.
Beaujolais-Villages, La Perdrisette, Thorin, France		19.95
This is velvety wine with strawberry aromas - proper Beaujolais.
Alto Pampas Pinot Noir, Argentina	2.95	17.50
This all that a new world Pinot should be: warm and loving with a good level of fruit that has had sun on its back. This has been given a little extra time on the vine to put on some weight and roll into the bottle, making a wine that's like a good cardie on a winter's day.

A top notch Spanish red with lots of soft fruit and a touch of oak - Rioja in all but name.

Full bodied and well balanced with smooth tanins and good length. This wine has all the right credentials and does the business every time.

A dash of Merlot smooths out the agressive tendencies of the fruity Cabernet grape, ringing with it a certain richness and a rounded finish.
Purisma Merlot, Chile		21.50
Top end Merlot in full cry - soft and smooth, with rich, soft tannins and a long finish.
Canonbah Bridge Drought Reserve Shiraz, Australia		28.95
They call it drought Shiraz as heat is high, so grapes are smaller, intensifying the flavour and colour of the wine. This is a limited release of an exceptional wine that is reminiscent of liquorice when eating it. Oops, I meant drinking it..
