The Two Brewers 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
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
Riverstone Ridge Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand 3.45 18.95
Classic Kiwi kit - gooseberries and asparagus, with lots of elegant tropical fruit that just keeps going and going.
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
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.
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.
Rosé
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.
Vendage White Zinfandel 3.20 17.45
Lovely flavours with gentle overtones of strawberries and cream.
House red
Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Collezione Marchesini 2.75 14.75
A beautiful little Italian quaffer.
Warm and spicy
Chianti Classico, Tenuta Santedame, Italy 3.20 19.95
Classic Chianti bags of spicy friut which remains fresh and velovety, but with a touch of briar to give structure.
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.
Kleine Zalze Pinot Noir, South Africa 17.95
New World Pinot Noir can get really chewy, but here you'll find tangy currants with a twist of vanilla spice.
Smooth and earthy
Don Jacobo Crianza Rioja Tinto, Spain 4.00 21.95
Velvety vanilla, but balanced with a fresh kick of fruit.
Luis Felipe Edwards Lot 40 Cabernet Sauvignon, Chile 3.10 16.95
This is Cabernet to the bottom of its Cuban-heeled boots, with cassis, bramble, a touch of mint and green pepper.
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.
Kleine Zalze Cabernet Sauvignon, South Africa 2.90 15.95
Deep red colour with a classic, multi-layered Cabernet nose, featuring chocolate and strong ripe blackberry fruit.
Rich and plummy
Tintara Shiraz,Australia 18.95
Look for a smokey, crunchy, Eucalyptus nose with blackcurrant fruit, overlaid with marzipan.
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
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.
Prosecco Sant Orsola 19.95
Good Prosecco nose with a salty tang, and good flavours with gentle overtones of stone fruit.
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.
