Wines

Sutton Hall White Wines

House White	125 ml	Bottle
Trebbiano, Rubicone ~ Italy	2.50	13.50
Clean and fresh, just the tackle for that blazing sun.
Dry, Crisp and Refeshing
La Delizia Chardonnay ~ Italy	2.90	15.25
If you don't usually like Chardonnay then you may well like this. This is very definately at the dry, spritzy, clean and lean, garden refreshment end of the scale.
Vidal Riesling, Marlborough ~ New Zealand	3.90	19.95
Quaffing Riesling isn't something you come across everyday. This one's limey with that 'no-slouching' Antipodean finish. Go on - pucker up.
GPG Gargenaga Pinot Grigio, Veneto ~ Italy	3.10	16.95
Crisp and crunchy but softened with a hint of nuttiness - as clean as my conscience.
Picpoul de Pinet, Domaine Sainte-Anne, Coteaux de Langudoc ~ France		20.50
Feisty, dry and complex - goes particularly well with anything that's got gills.
Chablis, Emile Petit, Burgundy ~ France	5.65	28.60
Old-style Chablis. Made by the main man at Brocard from his own grapes grown on his allotment.
MandraRossa Fiano, Scicily ~ Italy	3.70	18.95
Did I see the sun poking out from beind a cloud? Quick, open a bottle.
Sancerre, 'Les Collines Blanches' Domaine Hubert Brochard, Loire ~ France		30.95
With more steel than Sheffield this one ticks all the Sancerre boxes for us.
Aromatic and Fruity
Arroyo De La Vega Verdejo Viura, Castilla y Leon ~ Spain	3.10	16.40
From an area next door to Rioja and made from the same grapes as a Rioja, this wine taste unsurprisingly like a Rioja.
Dignité Viognier, Vin de Pays d'Oc ~ France		22.50
Like apricot jam on buttered toast - strange but very very tasty.
Gruner Veltliner, Sepp Moser, Burgenland ~ Austria		24.55
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.
Niersteiner Gutes Domtal, Klosor, Bernkastel-Kues ~ Germany	2.90	15.30
This is all orange blossom, honeysuckle and floral aromatics. Medium-sweet wine for medium-sweet people.
Weingut Paulinshof Riesling Spatlese, Bernkastel Mosel ~ Germany		26.60
An exciting slate-edged nose, complex, with candied fruit and a tangy finish. A mouthful of a wine with a mouthful of a name.
Mansion House Bay Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough ~ New Zealand		25.50
Classic Kiwi kit, this. Gooseberries and nettles, with lots of racy acidity that just keeps going and going. This is mouth-wateringly moreish.
Pfaffenhiem Gewürztraminer, Alsace ~ France		24.55
Gewürztraminer literally means 'spicy grape' and if your nose works at all, you'll see why.
Colterenzio Pinot Grigio Classico, Alto Adige DOC ~ Italy		28.70
A top-shelf, food friendly Pinot Grigio with all those round, rich, almondy flavours.
Marechal VdP de Loire Chenin Blanc ~ France	2.70	14.85
A juicy fruit salad of a wine.
Clean but Rounded
Pouilly Fumé, Jean Pabiot, Loire ~ France		27.60
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.
Casa La Joya Unoaked Chardonnay ~ Chile	3.00	15.90
Fresh, dry, oak-free, spritzy Chardonnay with more style than a pair of Mr. Choo's shoes.
Domaine Trotignon, Sauvignon de Touraine, Loire ~ France	3.70	18.95
Good honest Sauvignon from an area renowned for its good honest Sauvignon. Well made with abundant greenery, this represents great value for money.
Peacock Ridge Sauvignon Blanc, Waterkloof Estate ~ South Africa		24.50
This is a big, concentrated Sauvignon spending a few weeks on its lees. If you can't make up your mind between an energetic Marlborough or an austere Sancerre, this sits nicely in the middle.
Pouilly Fuissé Grande Resérve, Domaine des Mailettes, Davayé ~ France		39.95
Ok, perhaps not for everyday drinking but this is proper southern Burgundy. It's like Montrachet at half the money.
False Bay Chenin Blanc ~ South Africa	3.40	17.95
A worthy replacement for the old Stormy Cape. This one's a significant step up in quality, although 'luscious' is still the word.
Rich and Full
Veramonte Chardonnay Reserva ~ Chile		20.50
With its creamy, buttered oak body, this wine is set to be more popular than Ugg boots.
Margan Estate Chardonnay, Hunter Valley ~ Australia		27.50
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		45.95
With a price tag that's smaller than its taste. A stunning white Beaune, with delicious buttery Chardonnay flavours.
Condrieu, E. Guigal Chateau d'Ampuis, Northern Rhone ~ France		44.95
Monsieur Guigal's very special Viognier. A complex, peachy wine with flavours of spring flowers and apricots - more exciting than a week's holiday at Hedonism.
Champagne and Sparklers
Prosecco Dolco Colline ~ Italy	4.10	20.50
Fully sparkling and fruity - quaffed by the bucket-load, this is fun wine for any time.
Perrier Jouet ~ France		40.95
If wine were shoes, this would be a dancing slipper.
Lallier Brut ~ France		36.95
A clean-cut Saville Row suit of a wine.
Pudding Wine
Sauternes, Clos Dady, Bordeaux ~ France (37.5cl bottle)		23.85
Exquisite, hand crafted dessert wine. Big, beautiful and nobly rotted.
Pedro Ximénez, Vinicola Valdivia ~ Spain (100ml glass)	4.80
Rich and cakey, bitter-sweet pudding wine. Best saved for chocolatey puddings.
Ventus Moscato Pastito ~ Sicily (100ml glass)	4.40
A bit like an Italian 'raisined Muscat'. Best with fruity desserts.
Colheita Port 1978, Krohn, Douro ~ Portugal (100ml glass)	10.80
Blimey, this is good. Words fail me. Please taste it and write your own description here..

Sutton Hall Red Wines

House Red	125 ml	Bottle
Sangiovese, Rubicone ~ Italy	2.50	13.50
A good honest Italian red, the perfect medicine for those lazy days.
Light and Juicy
Beaujolais Villages, La Perdrisette, Thorin ~ France	3.20	16.75
Proper Beaujolais - made of strawberries. It's so good we built a garden for it.
Montepuliciano d'Abruzzo, Ancora Adria Vini ~ Italy	3.20	17.30
This is what Montepuliciano is all about. Soft and eminently drinkable. Goes well with starters, main courses, breakfast...
La Delizia Cabernet Sauvignon ~ Italy	2.90	15.25
This cheeky Italian Cabernet with its soft, gentle palate is unexpectedly singing a light and fruity tune. 'Tutti mi chiedono, tutti mi vogliono' ('Everyone looks for me, everyone wants me') The Barber of Seville.
Chinon 'Les Moriniers', Joseph Mellot, Loire ~ France		18.95
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.
La Paz, Merlot ~ Chile	2.80	14.95
Very drinkable Merlot - just the ticket when you've spent all day rounding up the alpacas in your best poncho.
Chianti Colli Sensi, Tuscany ~ Italy		25.50
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.
Bourgogne Pinot Noir, Champy, Burgundy ~ France		28.50
This is sort of wine that over-delivers on its rather unassuming title and takes your palate on a journey, rather than merely delivering it at a destination.
Smooth and Earthy
Solese, Cabernet Franc, Sicily ~ Italy		19.95
A bit of an oddity we found and loved at a tasting some months ago. Typically crunchy yet layered with soft fruits, bergamot and a touch of barrel ageing. Definately, definately worth a punt.
Viña Cerrada, Rioja Tempranillo ~ 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.
Escale, Pinot Noir, Vin de Pays d'Oc ~ France		19.95
A brilliant little wine. Fine Burgundy it's not, but it's really carefully made and displays excellent fruit with ripe cherries and touches of vanilla tobacco. Pinot lovers everywhere, come and have a go.
Gevry Chambertin, Drouhin Laroze, Burgundy ~ France		51.50
Pity the poor teetotallers, pity them, for they shall not know the beauty that is here. All is harmony, and balance, and finesse.
Monte Real Rioja Gran Rserva, Bodegas Riojanas, Rioja ~ Spain		54.95
30 year old Rioja - say no more.
Warm and Spicy
Cotes du Rhone 'La Dive', Ravoire et Fils, Orange ~ France		20.45
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.
Chateau Montouliers, Minervois ~ France		18.95
A crunchy, brambly mid-weight Syrah that's proudly flying the flag for the renaissance of the Southern French vineyard.
Etchart Privado Malbec ~ Argentina	3.10	16.35
With the judicious use of oak we get a wine presenting strong varietal characteristics of roasted coffee, pencil shavings and generous tannins. A playmate for your steak.
Peter Lehman Barossa Shiraz ~ Australia	3.40	17.95
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 £18 left in the world, this is what I would do with it.
Malvis Reserva, Douro ~ Portugal		18.95
Distinctivly porty with a clean freshness that tempts you on and on. Trust me, try some..
Primitivo Antonini Ceresa, Puglia ~ Italy	3.20	17.40
'The Barolo of the south' they cry: dark berry fruits and a dab of tar, topped with a lick of acidity.
Chateau Les Amoureuses 'La Barbaire', Cotes du Rhone ~ France		29.70
Pianists have Beethoven, explorers have the source of the Nile, but we have this. Don't operate heavy equipment (door knobs, forks, coat hooks) after consumption.
Rich and Full
Barrua, Agricola Punca, Tenuta San Guido, Sardinia ~ Italy		54.95
Not satisfied with making Bolgheri Sassicaia, they released this top shelf Sardinian blend with Carignano, Cabernet and Merlot The palate is savoury and super-smooth, rich and enigmatically complex, just like me good self.
Rioja Reserva, Conde de Jauregui ~ Spain		29.70
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.
Los Vilos Cabernet Sauvignon ~ Chile	3.10	16.95
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		35.95
There's nothing to get the heart racing like a bit of Medoc. A dollop of Cabernet goes to produce this dense, concentrated Claret with expansive black fruit supported by a fine structure.
Zondernaam Cabernet Sauvignon, Stellenbosch ~ South Africa		27.60
A New-world take on an Old-world classic. Mighty Cab Sauv and easy Merlot are stiffened with a splash of Petit Verdot. Makes for a wine that's like a Claret, but with a smile on its face.
Dark and Satanic
Clos de la Cure, St Emilion Grand Cru, Bordeaux ~ France		35.95
A really substantial right bank Claret with a rich fruit character and decent backbone - it's a real friend of anything that's wandered in off the green pastures for an appointment with the fiery Mr Grill.
Intriga Cabernet Sauvignon, Maipo Valley ~ Chile		29.95
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 de Goudon Tradition, Cahors ~ France		20.95
Meaty and chocolatey, with more grip than a Formula 1 car. Yet this is pitched with richness and a bracing acidity that balances you out and leaves you feeling at peace with the world.
Rosé
Pinot Grigio Blush, Via Nova ~ Italy	3.00	16.35
Think of summer, strawberries and cream, the smell of wild flowers and endless sunny days.
Rosé d'Anjou, Loire ~ France	3.40	18.50
Delightful, gentle, raspberry fruit body with a hint of watermelon pink.
Garnacha Rosado, Bodegas Borsao ~ Spain	3.20	17.40
A voluptuous 'can-can dancer' strutting her stuff. This is a bloke's rosé.
