The White Hart Chobham wine list

House white 125 ml Bottle
Crusan Columbard Sauvignon 2.75 14.75
A soft Sauvignon nose, this is crisp with a citrus lift, but the Columbard keeps it friendly.
Crisp, dry and refreshing
Tierra Sauvignon Blanc, Maule Valley, Chile 2.90 15.95
This is herbaceous in style with a distinct nettley aroma: a fine demonstration of Sauvignon's varietal characteristics.
Marchesini Pinot Grigio del Veneto, Italy 2.90 15.95
Classic Pinot Grigio with a touch of almond make this a veritable quaff-meister.
Armidale Estate Hill Grove Unoaked Chardonnay, Australia 3.10 16.95
Good Chardonnnay flavours which remain fresh throughout as a result of the absence of the old oak tree.
Fruity and aromatic
Kleine Zalze Bush Vines Chenin Blanc, South Africa 15.95
Really rounded, silky, weighty and oaky but with a touch of lemon. Bags of yellow tropical fruit leap out like gazelles from the bush. One step up from dry, but it never cloys.
Josef Brader Piesporter Michelsberg, Germany 2.75 14.95
From the cool heart of the Mosel valley comes this succulent mouthful of ripe nectarines and juicy pears.
Clean but rounded
Chablis Reserve Croix St Joseph, J.Moreau, France 34.95
Traditional old-school Chablis - it's as French as Gérard Depardieu in a beret with a string of onions round his neck, pedaling his bicyclette home from the rugby having lost to Les Rosbifs.
Pouilly-Fumeé Cuvée du Tronsec, Joseph Mellot, France 29.95
Massive gunflint on the nose, with a slightly citrus edge to the Sauvignon that keeps it fresh but rounded: an aristocrat.
Rosé
Vendage White Zinfandel, USA 3.20 17.45
Strawberries and cream in a glass.
Pinot Grigio Rosato del Veneto, Marchesini, Italy 2.90 15.95
A classic picnic wine, this has juicy raspberry overtones and is most agreeable. Great on a sunny day.
House red
Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Collezione Marchesini 2.75 14.75
A beautiful little Italian quaffer.
Light and fruity
Chianti Rosso, Ruffino, Italy 19.95
Very drinkable. This is Chianti as it used to be, before they started stuffing it with Merlot to sell to jam-loving Americans. With its easy going nature, this is a quaff-meister.
Warm and spicy
The Pavillion Shiraz Viognier, Boschendal, South Africa 3.30 17.95
This is the blend made famous by Cote Roti in the Rhone, and the boys in Boschendhal make the wine sing in the glass. A gorgeous drop.
Etchart Privado Malbec, Valle de Cafayate, Argentina 17.95
A very soft and juicy wine, with ripe damson and vanilla on the nose. Almost opulent in style.
Smooth and earthy
Luis Felipe Edwards Lot 40 Cabernet Sauvignon, Chile 19.95
This is Cabernet to the bottom of its Cuban-heeled boots, with cassis, bramble, a touch of mint and green pepper.
Cotes du Rhone La Denteliere Caves St Pierre, France 3.10 16.95
Very palatable - compared to all those shouty Australian reds jumping up and down and waving their arms about, this is a harmonious male voice choir.
Don Jacobo Crianza Rioja Tinto, Spain 21.95
Velvety vanilla, but balanced with a fresh kick of fruit.
Chateau Lyonnat, Lussac, St Emilion, France 29.95
Cracking wine - old fashioned, traditional St Emilion. St Emilion proudly flies the Merlot flag, as copied throughout the New World, and this is absolutely on the button.
Rich and plummy
Errazuriz 1870 Teno Block, Chile 3.50 18.95
Medium-bodied, juicy Merlot. Rich and plummy aromas with a subtle hint of chocolate. Give this a nice warm home in your tummy.
Sparkling wine and Champagne
Prosecco Sant Orsola 19.95
Good Prosecco nose with a salty tang, and good flavours with gentle overtones of stone fruit.
Sparkling rose: Pinot Grigio Cuvee Rose Brut, Italy 19.95
This lovable Italian thoroughbred has the mereist lick of red grape that gives it a light blush. Dry, fresh and fruity, an all round well-balanced specimen.
Louis Dornier et Fils Brut 39.95
This is full and rounded, with flavours to savour. A real find for us.
Veuve Cliquot Yellow Label, France 49.95
Well known for its full-bodied, biscuity style and fine finish.
