Our Winter Wine List

Our wine list has been carefully chosen in consultation with our friends from Jascots Winemerchants. As time goes by we will update or change the list according to the season, availability and vintage.

Whilst we happily stand by all of the wines on this list, those denoted by an * are firmly the favourites of the staff here at Aldermaston.

We have decided to list our wines according to their style as opposed to their region or grape variety. We hope this will make it easier for you to choose a wine suited to your own personal taste, or to accompany your meal. All the wines listed are from France unless otherwise denoted and 11 of these wines are available by the glass.

Whites

5. Mas De La Source Reserve, Vin de Pays d'Oc  £14.00

Reds

By the glass, the value and quality of the Tourelle Merlot (no.19) is very hard to beat. If you’re looking for a bottle then the Nero d’Avola (no.24) is a lovely mid-weighted wine but to match a big heavy meaty dish, then you have to try the awesome Angus Cabernet Sauvignon (no.31).

Soft, light, pure and easy drinking. Perfect for lunchtime drinking and with lighter foods and canapés.

19. La Tourelle du Cavalier Merlot  £14.90

20. Cycles ‘Gladiator’ Pinot Noir, California, USA*  £19.50

Supple, juicy reds. Still good with light meals but these also work well with grilled meats.

21. Mas De La Source Reserve, Vin de Pays d’Oc  £14.00

22. El Somo ‘Seleccion’, Bodegas El Somo, Rioja, Spain  £16.90

23. Vaquero Cabernet Sauvignon, Lodi, USA  £15.90

Mid-weighted but full flavoured reds. Great with Chicken, Pork and many red meat dishes including steaks and casseroles.

25. Arabella Cabernet Sauvignon, South Africa  £15.90

26. Heartland ‘Stickleback’ Cabernet Shiraz, Australia  £16.90

28. Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, ‘Colle Morino’, Italy  £18.00
