Valentine's Weekend Wine Pairing for 2 (Delivered 12th February)

Chosen by our sommeliers and decanted into glass bottles on the morning your order is sent out, this is the chance to recreate our Wine Pairing at home... 

An aperitif to share, 2 glasses of white, 2 glasses of red and a small glass each of something sweet to finish things off. 

As normal we are offering a House Selection and a Cellar Selection and given it's Valentine's weekend, the latter comes with a half bottle of champagne to kick things off.

House Selection Wine Pairing for 2 - £39

Aperitif
NV Cesar Florido Fino En Rama (100ml bottle)
A simply brilliant unfiltered fino from the famous Pago de Miraflores vineyard - a little goes a long way and perfect as an aperitif.
White
2017 Cape Mentelle, Sauvignon Semillon Blend, Margaret River (250ml bottle)
Textured bright ripe fruit with salinity to balance. Steely, crisp sauvignon with a fruit kick from the semillon.
Red
2018 La Boussole Pinot Noir (250ml bottle)
A hearty and gutsy pinot noir from two brilliant winemakers with low yielding vines in the Languedoc. Big and bold for a pinot and a favourite on our wine list at Portland.
To finish
NV Clos Lapeyre, La Magendia Jurancon (150ml bottle)
Beautiful spice and subtle exotic fruits - Jurancon plays second fiddle to Sauternes up the road but is arguably often better value

Cellar Selection Wine Pairing for 2 - £59

Aperitif
NV Champagne Deville NV Carte D'Or (half bottle)
A perfect assemblage with great complexity - toasted brioche and citrus freshness.
White
2017 Cape Mentelle, Sauvignon Semillon Blend, Margaret River (250ml bottle)
Textured bright ripe fruit with salinity to balance. Steely, crisp sauvignon with a fruit kick from the semillon. Decanted on the day of delivery.

Supple & floral red-currant gamay blend - perfect for a bit of sunshine during a bleak winter.  Decanted on the day of delivery.

Made with bunches selected at the end of the harvest; bunches with overripe grapes and 40% of aszú grapes creating a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity.
