Wine List
Family Ski’s Wine List!
We’ve worked really hard to select some lovely wines to appeal to all of our guests and which will perfectly complement our dinner menus. After lots of tasting (it was a difficult job but someone had to do it!) we’ve finally settled on six wines which we’re sure you’ll enjoy. Santé!
Five lovely white wines
Horgelus Colombard-Sauvignon, Cotes de Gascogne, France – We are still unable to fault this wine. A lovely mid-weight blend of the Sauvignon and Colombard grapes from the southwest of France, packed full of pungent zingy aromas – lemon, lime, tropical fruit.
Marechal Apremont, Vin de Savoie Apremont, France – A quality Savoie wine! Locally produced and typical of the Savoie style – dry, floral and mineral with zippy acidity to hold everything together.
Versant Sauvignon Blanc 2023 – An elegant Sauvignon Blanc with citrus and exotic fruit aromas. Easy-drinking, fresh and perfect as an aperitif or with white fish or seafood. Intense nose with aromas both fresh (lime, kiwi, boxwood) and ripe (pear, passion fruit). Mouth imprinted with vivacity continuing on mineral notes of citrus and blackcurrant bud.
La Foule Chardonnay 2022 Languedoc-Roussillon, France – Deep and bright gold in colour, complex and expressive. Aromas of ripe pear and quince, followed
by elegant hints of vanilla. This wine is well balanced, with subtle toasted oak character and not too strong at 12.5%
Mandolare Menini Soave, Italy – Easy-drinking, smooth and moreish with tropical and floral notes. Fresh and harmonic with a characteristic almond back taste.
Five delicious Red wines
Cour des Dames Merlot, Languedoc-Roussillon, France – A really juicy and easy-drinking Merlot with a very deep rich colour, and lots of red berry, cherry and blackcurrant flavours combined with a touch of spice. An excellent match for rich dishes and cheese.
Gran Fabrica Gran Reserva, Spain -This mature, oak-aged, plush Spanish red has cherry, blackberry and violet flavours and a soft smooth vanilla finish. For even more flavour and impact it’s even better after 24 hours being open.
Pure Altitude – Pinot Noir 2023 – Filled with crunchy red fruits, this is a fruit-forward, juicy style of Pinot Noir. Although from the South of France, the wine has lots of freshness and retains the typical Pinot Noir notes of earth and higher acidity thanks to the higher altitude vineyards in this appellation. A really lovely wine! Medium ruby red, typical of a good Pinot Noir. The nose is impressive in its complexity – a mix of sour cherry, kirsch and herbaceous notes, bringing good aromatic freshness.
Combeval Grande Reserve Rouge, Languedoc-Rousillon Pays d’Herault, France – Ruby red in colour, there are a lot of lovely red fruits like raspberry and cassis with some spicy hints. It is smooth, round and full bodied on the fruity palate. A lovely easy-drinking wine. Bold on flavour but soft on tannin and weighing in at just 12%.
Chateau Vincens Origine Cahors Malbec, France – Almost black in colour, this is a dark-hued, black plum and chocolate flavoured wine. It is powerful and very concentrated, densely tannic as well as fruity. There is a dusty texture, fine acidity and strong wood-spice flavours.
Rose and Sparkling
Folie d’Inès IGP Oc, Languedoc-Roussillon, France – Vibrant, crisp and light rosé with citrus and red fruit aromas, wonderfully refreshing Grenache which goes down extremely well as an aperitif.
Belstar Prosecco NV, Veneto, Italy – very popular with. Fresh apple and pear aromas with a hint of blossom. Medium-bodied with citrus fruit, creamy mousse and a fresh, clean finish. This sparkling wine is versatile and fun and can be enjoyed with appetizers or as an aperitif. (Available for purchase.)
