Wine List at The Edinburgh Residence

White Wines

Chenin Blanc, The Veldt Range, South Africa, 2008, £15.50
A really well balanced wine: the aromas are reminiscent of melon and lychees with soft tropical fruit flavours dominating the palate and an elegant, refreshing acidity on the finish.

Sauvignon Blanc, Las Condes, Chile, 2007, £17.00
Intensely floral with elderflower notes and a grassy quality. The palate reflects the same fruit profile with crisp acidity and a touch of citrus fruit on the finish. This is a dry white with a medium body.

Pinot Grigio, La Casada, Italy, 2007, £18.50
What can we say, great Pinot Grigio - fresh and crisp with an appley melon twist. Everything you would expect in a Pinot Grigio and a lot more!

Verdelho, Don Cristobal, Argentina, 2008, £23.00
This unique wine, characterized by its fruity aromas with floral tones and its freshness highlighted by its balanced acidity in the mouth.

Amplus Sauvignon Blanc, Chile, 2008, £27.00
A particularly fresh style of Sauvignon which retains all the aromatic green flavours but has a lick of fresh minerals through it. The wine has more weight than you would expect from a Sauvignon but it still elegant and crisp on the finish.

Citrine Chardonnay, Gemtree, McLaren Vale, Australia, 2007, £29.95
A wonderful example of how to balance the use of oak with the quality of fruit, this will banish all unpleasant memories of over-oaked Aussie Chardonnays for good!

Sauvignon Blanc, Francesca Bay, Marlborough, New Zealand, 2007, £33.00
The superb crunchy Granny Smith apple fruit, with tropical fruit notes, makes this Marlborough Sauvignon an ideal partner to seafood dishes.

Macon Uchizy, Domaine Talmard, Burgundy, France, 2007, £36.00
Great value white Burgundy with no oak, just fresh green apple and nut flavour with just a touch of honey.  Full of character and clean fruit.

Chablis, Domaine Colombier, France, 2006, £37.00
A perfect example of what can be done in the region. It is a pure and authentic wine vinified and aged in stainless steel tanks to retain all its freshness and mineral character.

Red Wine

Ruby Cabernet, The Veldt Range, South Africa, 2007, £15.50
The opulent black fruit character twinned with low levels of tannin ensure that our Ruby Cabernet is perfect for early drinking. We even encourage you to try it slightly chilled during summer.

Merlot, Las Condes, Chile, 2007, £17.00
An attractive nose with ripe red and stone fruits overlaid with a herbal quality. On the palate these develop to show ripe plum and prune flavours with an accessible structure.

Tempranillo, Tinto Quintana, Spain, 2007, £18.00
Soft, chocolatey Tempranillo fruit rounded out and spiced up by a year in oak barrels.  Mellow and medium weight

Cabernet Sauvignon, Santa Ema, Chile, 2007, £19.95
40% of the wine is aged in French oak for 4-6 months which adds body, complexity and a lovely toasty note to the ripe blackcurrant, plum and raspberry flavoured wine.

Malbec, Don Cristobal, Argentina, 2007, £21.00
At sight, it has intense and bright red purplish tones. Fine and elegant aroma with a perfect combination of ripe red fruits and spices, enriched by the use of French oak. In the mouth it is balanced with soft tannins.

Cotes du Rhone, Parcelles 38, Vignobles Jermone Quiot,  2007, £26.00
A blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, this is serious Cotes du Rhone, being full flavoured and having the structure to support the ample fruit. Delicious drinking.

Shiraz, Bloodstone Gemtree, McLaren Vale, Australia, 2006, £29.95
It's full of ripe, smoky, peppery Shiraz fruit that just tick all the right boxes.

Pinot Noir, Francesca Bay, Marlborough, New Zealand,  2008, £33.00
This classic New Zealand Pinot Noir is grown on selected Marlborough vineyards and is carefully and selectively harvested by hand. Aged in oak casks, this fine wine has a vibrant colour and a complex abundance of strawberry, cherry and dark berry fruit.

Chateau de Rocques, St. Emilion, France, 2004, £36.00
Clear ruby red with a nose that is reminiscent of wild berries. The wine is medium bodied, with lighter tannins and cedary notes enhancing the fruit. Subtle hints of vanilla and oak on the nose leads to mouth-filling soft fruit flavours on the palate.
