› WINE - TASTING NOTESLustau Amontillado Sherry (half bottle) A dark gold colour with glints of green, this fine sherry has a wonderful clean and nutty nose. The intense flavour leaves a little tingle on the tongue and a flavour that goes on for ever. Food Match = pre-dinner drinks with nibbles Lustau Fino Sherry (half bottle) Paler, younger, fresher and fruitier than the amontillado, this is a super quality wine, bursting with toasted almond flavours. Great texture on the palate and great length. Food Match = pre-dinner drinks with nibbles Niepoort LBV Port (half bottle) Niepoort's sherries have made waves in the past few years due to their richness coupled with an elegance and finesse. The sweet dark fruit flavours leave an exquisite taste in the mouth. Food Match = any cheese! Red Metal Merlot / Cabernet Franc 2004 Made from 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, the elegant ripe plum and summer berry flavours are immediately appealing. The tannins are very soft, giving a wine that's very drinkable now. Food Match = very food friendly, will go with anything!

Food match = perfect summer wine for seafood and fish Sancerre, Daniel Crochet A delicately soft and fragrant Sauvignon Blanc without the sharpness of some Sancerres. The subtle floral aromas and persistent pink grapefruit and kiwi flavours are therefore all the more remarkable. This is Sancerre made with a light touch. "This small family estate is just under 10 hectares in the communes of Bue and Sancerre. Grass is allowed to grow between vineyard rows and the soil is worked mechanically, reducing the need for herbicides and controlling vine yields, to increase the qulity of fruit. A classic Sancerre, combining mineral elegance with impressive body and length of flavour" – Telegraph Wines Food Match = anytime, a beautiful Sancerre, just chill!
