Wines

Sutton Hall White Wines

House Dry	125 ml	Bottle
Marche Bianco ~ Italy	2.40	12.95
A crisp, clean, citrus-fresh Italian with great body.
House Medium
Marechal VdP de Loire Chenin Blanc ~ France	2.40	12.95
A juicy, friut salad of a wine.
Crisp, Dry and Refreshing
Stonehaven Riesling, Limestone Coast ~ Australia	2.90	15.50
Quaffing Riesling isn't something you come across everyday. This one's limey with that 'no-slouching' Antipodean finish. Go on - pucker up.
Melon de Borgongne Chardonnay, Luneau Papin Estate, VdP de Loire ~ France		16.95
A winner at a recent tasting. Made from the same grape as Muscadet, hand harvested and blended with little bit of Chardonnay. After the first sip I tend to have a gulp.
Picpoul de Pinet, Domaine Sainte-Anne, Coteaux de Langudoc ~ France		17.50
Feisty and dry and complex - goes particularly well with anything that's got gills.
Chablis, Domaine de Marionners, Bernard Legland, Burgundy ~ France	5.10	26.95
Old-style Chablis: mineralic, steely and clean as whistle.
Le Vele Verdicchio Castelli d'Jesi ~ Italy		17.50
Did I see the sun poking through that cloud? Quick, open a bottle - this is slightly off-dry and deeply refreshing.
Sancerre, Domaine Aucherre, Loire ~ France		26.95
With more steel than Sheffield this one ticks all the Sancerre boxes for us.
Ca Marengo Pinot Grigio, Veneto ~ Italy	2.90	15.50
Crisp and crunchy but softened with a hint of nuttiness - as clean as my conscience.
Clean but Rounded
Casa La Joya Unoaked Chardonnay ~ Chile	2.80	14.95
Fresh, dry, oak-free, spritzy Chardonnay with more style than a pair of Mr. Choo's shoes.
Escale Sauvignon Blanc, Cotes de Gascogne ~ France	3.30	17.50
Crisp gooseberry stuff with ripping, green acidity. Just like old school Sancerre, but half the price.
Fairleigh Estate Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough ~ New Zealand		20.95
Classic Kiwi kit, this. Gooseberries and nettles, with lots of racy acidity that just keeps going and going. This is mouth-wateringly moreish.
Albarino Salterio, Bodegas Martin Codax, Rias Baixas ~ Spain		18.50
It's no surprise that it's made so close to the Atlantic coast when you consider how well it goes with all types of sea food (with the exception of fish finger sandwiches). Predicted to be the next Pinot Grigio.
Gavi de Gavi, La Toledana, Dom Villa Lanata, Piedmont ~ Italy		21.50
If you're the sort who likes dry wines but are looking for something with a bit more weight, then this could be your cup of tea. Steely and stoney, yet carrying big flavours and more body than Antonio Carluccio.
Stormy Cape Chenin Blanc ~ South Africa	2.90	15.95
One step up from dry - but it never gets cloying. Luscious is the word.
Pouilly Fumé, Jean Pabiot, Loire ~ France		25.95
Oh this is good, everything you've ever wanted from Pouilly Fumé, it's smokey, grassy and flinty, with flavours of asparagus and a hint of lime. A beautifully poised and elegant wine.
Ancient Earth Sauvignon Blanc, Western Cape ~ South Africa	2.90	15.95
Good, honest, South African Sauvignon that's well made, with an abundance of fresh, tropical fruit. This represents great value for money.
Rich and Full
Margan Estate Chardonnay, Hunter Valley ~ Australia		25.50
A rich, bold Chardy with well integrated oak. Weighty, with concentrated fruits in the mid-palate and a touch of smokey nuttiness. Every time I open a bottle, I swear I hear it crying for roast chicken.
Mersault, Henri de Villamont, Burgundy ~ France		36.95
With a price tag that's smaller than its taste. A stunning white Beaune, with delicious buttery Chardonnay flavours.
Condrieu, La Chambee Les Vins de Vienne, Northern Rhone ~ France		39.95
In this tiny enclave the three most noted producers have put put their vinous heads together to produce one of the best Viogniers on the planet. A complex, peachy wine with flavours of spring flowers and apricots - more exciting than a week's holiday at Hedonism.
Aromatic and Fruity
Aresti Estate Gewurtztraminer ~ Chile	2.80	14.95
It's all about orange blossom, honeysuckle and a little spice. Flowery, aromatic wine that doesn't gum your mouth up.
Santa-Ana Eco Torrontes ~ Agentina		17.95
The Torrentos is a grape that Argentina has made its own. You'll find it softly herbal with plenty of sage and tarragon flavours, yet it still retains a fresh liveliness that tempts you on and on.
Weingut Paulinshof Riesling Spatlese, Bernkastel Mosel ~ Germany		24.95
An exciting slate-edged nose, complex, with candied fruit and a tangy finish. A mouthful of a wine with a mouthful of a name.
Saumur Blanc, Cave des Vignerons de Saumur, Loire ~ France		17.25
As an experience, this is similar to being run over by a train. Weighty, with spicy quince flavours, evidence of later harvesting and cool climate complexity.
Pfaffenhiem Gerwurtztraminer, Alsace ~ France		22.95
Gewurztraminer literally means 'spicy grape' and if your nose works at all, you'll see why.
Gruner Veltliner, Hopler, Burgenland ~ Austria		20.95
This wine will give anyone, silly enough to think Austrian wine is only good for de-icing your car, a big kick in the pants. Dry and grapefruity with a herby spiciness. Put your hands together for the new kid on the block.
Champagne and Sparklers
Prosecco Frizante, Il Cortigiano, Piemonte ~ Italy	3.20	16.95
Lightly sparkled and fruity - quaffed by the bucket-load, this is fun wine for any time.
Veuve Cliquot ~ France		45.95
Fruit and finesse, a rich, dry Grande Marque.
Perrier Jouet ~ France		34.95
If wine were shoes, this would be a dancing slipper.
Pudding Wine
Domaine de Barroubio, Muscat de St Jean de Minervois ~ France (37.5cl)		16.95
Lively and inviting with elegant floral notes and hints of bee's wax. We like this stuff.
Sirafi, Passito di Pantelleria ~ Italy (50cl)		19.50
A candied sultana-and-spice loaded, golden sticky made from sundried grapes. Dessert wine that'll knock your socks off.
Sauternes, Clos Dady, Bordeaux ~ France (37.5cl)		21.50
Exquisite, hand crafted dessert wine. Big, beautiful and botrysized.

Sutton Hall Red Wines

House Red	125 ml	Bottle
Montepuliciano d'Abruzzo, Moncaro ~ Italy	2.40	12.95
A soft and fruity yet typically flirty Italian red with good mouth grip.
Light and Juicy
Chinon 'Les Moriniers', Joseph Mellot, Loire ~ France		17.95
Opening with cranberry fruit and a subtle yeastiness. As stylish and finessed as a cocktail dress - as soft and comforting as a pair of brand new socks.
Chianti Classico, Rocca de Castaglioni, Tuscany ~ Italy		22.95
Hints of cherry, spice and a slightly addictive balsamic note. A body that nevertheless finishes with a real freshness. Great on a summer's day, so get that handkerchief knotted and catch some rays.
Valpolicella, La Scala, Veneto ~ Italy	3.10	16.50
Good grippy tannins and plummy fruits from a cheeky Italian. It's great with starters, main courses, breakfast. Tutti mi chiedono, tutti mi vogliono. ('Everyone asks for me, everyone wants me' - The Barber of Seville).
L'Orangerie de Pennautier, Carcassonne ~ France		16.95
A perky, medium bodied and fruity southern French funster that just loves good times with lively friends. A quaffer.
Morgon, Chateau de Pizay, Beaujolais ~ France		21.50
'It's Beaujolais Jim, but not as we know it' - from one of the more meaty crus, it retains its drinkability yet exhibits a real Burgundian charm. Not so much of a lollipop wine after all, eh?.
Smooth and Earthy
Pomerol, Christian Moueix, Bordeaux ~ France		29.95
Long in the mouth, developing dark fleshy plum and coffee flavours. A class act from the man who makes Chateau Petrus - we were rather pleased to find this.
Rioja Tinto, Blason de Esquide ~ Spain	3.10	16.95
A top-notch Spanish red with bags of fruit and just a touch of oak. Rioja served-sunny side-up.
Gevry Chambertin, Drouhin Laroze, Burgundy ~ France		49.95
Pity the poor teetotallers, pity them, for they shall not know the beauty of this. All is harmony, and balance, and finesse.
Le Carredon Merlot ~ France	3.00	16.50
A ripe but well structured wine with plums and caramel - it just cries out for a second bottle.
Kliene Zalze Pinot Noir, Stellenbosch ~ South Africa		19.95
Pinot Noir is suddenly the new rock and roll in the New World. Cherries and leathery pipe tobacco and lifted spices - lightness and finesse are the order of the day here.
Warm and Spicy
Barrua, Agricola Punca, Tenuta San Guido, Sardinia ~ Italy		49.95
Not satisfied with making Bolgheri Sassicaia, they released this top shelf Sardinian blend. With Carignano, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot it opens with a fragrant Earl Grey nose. The palate is savoury and super-smooth, rich and enigmatically complex, just like me good self.
Etchart Privado Malbec ~ Argentina	2.70	14.50
With a minimal use of oak we get a wine presenting strong varietal characteristics of roasted coffee, blackcurrants and generous tannins. A playmate for your steak.
Peter Lehman Barossa Shiraz ~ Australia	3.20	17.50
From the hot vine heartland of Barossa, this is typically creamy with dense fruit, warm spiciness, and a pinch of sage, all lovingly wrapped up in a oak parcel. If I had but £17.50 left in the world, this is what I would do with it.
Chateau Berres, Bordeaux ~ France	3.20	17.50
Lesser Clarets can be dry or dusty, not this little number which displays a really grown-up, farmyard character.
Malvis Reserva, Douro ~ Portugal		17.95
A distinctive 'porty' character with a clean, freshness that tempts you on and on and on. Trust me, try some..
Cotes du Rhone 'Roc Epine', Domaine Lanfond ~ France		18.50
Old-school French wine, wearing a beret, a string of onions and whistling 'Les Marseillaise' as he weaves his way home on his bicyclette having lost the rugby.
Rich and Full
Rioja Reserva, Rondan ~ Spain		26.95
A velvet smooth, classic Rioja with bags of old-fashioned noble oak, spices, charred toast and vanilla to give a mouth-filling body with good structure.
Adam's Road Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot, Vasse Felix, Margaret River ~ Australia		25.50
A New-world take on an Old-world classic. Ripe Cabernet Sauvignon and easy-going Merlot bound together with a lash of oak. Makes for a wine that's rather like a Claret, but with a smile on its face.
Los Vilos Cabernet Sauvignon ~ Chile	2.80	15.50
The chaps who make this have done a great job at stuffing so many Cabernet flavours into the bottle. It comes out like bottled summer pudding.
Chateau Tour de Pez, St-Estephe, Bordeaux ~ France		27.95
There's nothing to get the heart racing like St-Estephe. A hearty dollop of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend goes to produce this dense, concentrated and rich Claret with expansive black fruit supported by a fine structure.
Cotes du Rhone, 'La Barbare', Chateau Les Amoureuses ~ France		28.50
Pianists have Beethoven, scuba divers have the Great Barrier Reef, explorers have the source of the Nile, but we have this. Don't operate heavy equipment (door knobs, knives, forks, coat hooks) after consumption.
Dark and Satanic
Intriga Cabernet Sauvignon, Maipo Valley ~ Chile		28.50
Powerfully dark fruit, with enough structure to make your hair stand on end. If the Government are considering putting health warnings on wines then they should start here.
Chateau Musar, Gaston Hochar, Bekaa Valley ~ Lebanon		34.95
From the sun-blasted red cracked earth of Lebanon, this is a cult wine that doesn't need an awful lot of introducing - it didn't get famous for nothing. Very nice all the same, with its 6.5 litre, V12, Hummer-powered flavours.
Chateau de Goudon Tradition, Cahors ~ France		19.95
Dark, meaty and chocolatey, with more grip than a Formula 1 car. Yet somehow, this is pitched with rich fruit and bracing acidity that balances everything out and leaves you feeling completely at peace with the world.
Ripassa Valpolicella, Zenato, Veneto ~ Italy		28.50
A great big Christmas cake of a wine, with rich, dark fruit and a marzipan nose.
Rosé
Syrah Rosé, Domaine Grauzin ~ France	3.10	16.95
Think of summer, think of strawberries and cream, think of the smell of wild flowers and endless sunny days. You'll be on the right track.
Prosecco Rosé, San Polo ~ Italy	4.10	19.95
A refreshing pink sparkler with delicate floral flavours and a hint of brioche.
Pinot Noir Rosé, Les Nuages, Loire ~ France		19.25
Delightful, gentle, raspberry fruit body and a hint of pink.
