CHAMPAGNE AND SPARKLING WINES

1

Codorníu Vintage Brut                     Cava                   Spain

Clean and refreshing style which is not imitating champagne but providing an alternative view. Clean, fresh nose - slightly yeasty; palate with some depth and interest.

£19.50

2

GRAHAM BECK               Champenoise             South Africa

Light yeasty aromas, good fruit on the nose, and rich creamy complexity on the palate. Fine mousse gives freshness and finesse.

£29.97

3

BEAUMONT DES CRAYERES GRANDE RESERVE  Champagne

Grande Reserve Brut NV. You can perceive the aromas of mature quince and pippin apples in the bouquet and the mouth feel is very pleasant thanks to the harmony between the freshness of the lemon - scented aromas and the fullness of the flavours of white fruit syrup; it has a strong finish.

£39.50

4

DEVAUX GRAND RESERVE                                   Champagne

Unlike some NV champagnes, Devaux is given three years of lees ageing, and it shows. It’s a smooth, modern style, with bready, yeasty touches on nose and palate, along with attractively smooth vanilla-cream character and a light citrus tang. The level of liqueuring means it’s not the driest of brut styles, but the soft richness will make many friends.

£47.75

DESSERT WINE

5

MOSCATEL ANEJO             Spain                      Sweet

The perfect way to round off a meal.  Luscious sweet grapey fruit with a touch of lemon on the tangy finish.
