Wine Pairing for 2 (Delivered 29th January)

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 in the restaurants, we offer 2 different pairings - a House Pairing of favourites, and A Cellar Selection of fine wines.

Or, if a glass each is not quite enough, we also offer a Half Bottle Pairing. Click through the photos to see this week's wines and notes below.

House Pairing for 2 - £39
Aperitif
2018 Monte del Fra Bardolino Chiaretto Rosé (250ml bottle)
Bone dry rose from the banks of Lake Garda - this is intensely refreshing and just the thing to kick off a weekend with alongside our snacks.
White
2018 Bruno Lupin, Roussette, Frangy (250ml bottle)
A huge favourite from all our teams at a recent tasting, this late-ripening 'Rousette de Savoie' is full of Alpine freshness. 
Red
2018 Terrazas de los Andes, Malbec, Mendoza (250ml bottle)
High-altitude malbec from prime real estate in Mendoza, this is full of black fruit, menthol and eucalyptus
Sweet
NV Lustau San Emilio Pedro Ximenez Sherry (100ml bottle)
Great with dessert or even as an extra dessert on its own - this is Jerez's classic super-sweet sherry from a great producer. Dried fig and dark chocolate.

Cellar Selection Pairing for 2 - £59
Aperitif
2018 Assyrtiko Vassaltis Santorini (250ml bottle)
A stunning flinty, crisp white from the volcanic soils of this amazing island. Perfect for a different kind of aperitif.
White
2019 Sigurd, Chenin Blanc, Clare Valley (250ml bottle)
This is pure honeycomb and burnt apple - a truly luscious Chenin Blanc from a wonderful young winemaker. Very food friendly.
Red
2017 Parize Pere et Fils, Champ Nalot, Givry (250ml bottle)
Premier cru pinot with lively cherry & sweet spice. Superb red burgundy for the price and more body and power than most givrys.

Classic honeyed figs on the palate but clean and fresh too.

Half Bottle Wine Pairing for 2 - £79
Aperitif

From the terraced vineyards overlooking the Minho river, this a clean and fruity albarino in a traditional style - not too much overly-tropical fruit but super refreshing

Velvety, smooth ripe berries from a master in Fleurie. Rich and big for a gamay.
Sweet
2010 Chateau Filhot, Sauternes (half bottle)
Classic honeyed figs on the palate but clean too.
