` THE WINE CELLAR This cellar full of wine is the personification of the sommelier team past and present. It has a personality, influenced by each sommelier, but unique from all. With both classics and interesting newcomers, this collection spans the last forty years of global wine production and has been diligently sourced and lovingly stored in anticipation of this historic hotel’s future. We are delighted to also bring plenty of choice in wines by the glass, half bottles and magnums to offer as many options as possible. Please do not hesitate in asking for advice and assistance or just a good chat about the wines- that’s why we’re here.

Mâcon Verzé, Nicolas Maillet, Burgundy, France, 2015 £55.00 A brilliant example of great value white Burgundy. Good citrus and melon fruit, great minerality and long zesty finish. ‘Düfte Punkt’, Chaffey Brothers, Eden Valley, Australia, 2017 £45.00 A great name and a great wine from a beld of Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Kerner. Wonderfully aromatic and balanced with a racy acidity to finish. Ideal summer drinking! Malagouzia ‘Kalogeri’, Papagiannakos, Attika, Greece, 2017 £38.50 A beautifully perfumed wine. Apricot, flowers and apple all comes through. A delicious wine with shellfish. Semillon ‘Watervale’, Mount Horrocks, Clare Valley, Australia, 2017 £58.00 100% barrel fermented in used French oak. Baked apples and pears, lemon peel and a little nutty. Creamy texture and long, dry finish.

Spicy and savoury, big fruit and a long finish. Morgenster Estate Red, Stellenbosch, South Africa 2003 £99.00 A belter of a wine from one of the best in South Africa. Classic Bordeaux blend with a good bit of bottle age after time in barrel when newly made. Sangiovese ‘Cilento’, Geoff Merrill, McLaren Vale, Australia, 2012 £52.00 An Aussie wine with a huge Italian influence. Cilento is the surname of Geoff’s Great Grandfather who emigrated from Italy to Australia. A warm climate, jammier Chianti of sorts. Morgon ‘Vielles Vignes’, Domaine Arnaud Aucoeur, Beaujolais, France, 2017 £48.00 Spring time calls out for lighter styles of red, we think, and who doesn’t secretly love a ‘Cheeky Beaujolais’? Berries and cherries with a little grip to balance. Very delicious! Chambolle-Musigny, Domaine Arlaud, Burgundy, France, 2014 £115.00 Classic Pinot Noir from Côte d’Or in Burgundy. Cherry fruit, good grip of fine tannins and long, refined finish. One of my favourite wine styles with game. Nerello Mascalese ‘Cirneco’, Terrazze dell’Etna, Sicily, Italy, 2011 £69.00 Nerello grown on the slopes of Mount Etna’s volcanic soils. Sweet spices, ripe and juicy berries.

Possibly a new favourite for Pinot Noir fans…. ‘Dos Dedos de Frente’, El Escocés Volanté, Calatayud, Spain, 2016 £63.00 A very impressive wine from Scottish winemaker Norrell Robertson MW. Dominant in juicy and spicy Syrah with a little Viognier added for perfume, just as with the wines from Côte Rôtie.
