Elysium Black Muscat, California, USA (37.5cl)

---

Black Muscat, an under-appreciated Muscat variety, one of the very few black-skinned Muscats. Elysium is Greek for Heaven, a fitting association for this excellent wine made by Andrew Quady. Virtually black in colour, with a rose-like aroma, very intense on the palate and full of fantastic rich velvety fruit. One of the few wines that can stand up to chocolate puddings. Or try it poured over ice cream for the ultimate after-dinner treat!

Essensia Orange Muscat Andrew Quady, California, USA (37.5cl)

---

With an aroma reminiscent of orange blossom and apricots. The palate is rich and sweet, with vibrant peachy and orangey fruit. Ends with a lingering, refreshing aftertaste.

Manzanilla Pasada Pastrana NV Hidalgo, Spain (75cl)

---

An intense nose of apple skins and nuts leads on to a palate characterised by classic notes of almonds, orange peel and a salty twang. A prolonged finish marks this out as a wine of real quality.

Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand

---

A wine full of fresh herbal aromas and layers of ripe guava and tropical fruit. Gooseberries and passion fruit on the medium-full body; the palate is succulent and crisp with a long flavoursome finish.

The Chocolate Block, Boekenhoutskloof, Western Cape, South Africa

---

An earthy, rustic nose gives up aromas of leather, earth and spices over a backdrop of blackcurrant and ripe raspberry fruit. Harmonious and powerful on the palate, with a cocoa and pepper complexity.

Decoy Zinfandel, Duckhorn, Sonoma County, California, USA

---

A generous and straightforward wine, with a defined nose of blueberry, cherry and loganberry fruit, accented by soft vanilla oak. The palate is more robust, with the lush fruit framed by firm tannins.

Bardolino Chiaretto Rosé, Pasqua, Italy

---

With Pinot Grigio rosé in huge demand, quality can be patchy as some producers try to keep up. Bardolino Chiaretto offers a top quality alternative from a region already recognised for its fantastic reds. Made by customer favourite producer Pasqua on the shores of Lake Garda, this is the perfect rosé for summer. At just 12%, it's fresh and elegant, with youthful notes of cherry, raspberry and strawberry.

Five Foot Track Chardonnay, Australia

---

This is a soft and rounded wine, with characteristics of cooked apple and underlying notes of vanilla.

Definition Pinot Grigio, Italy

---

The Definition range captures the quintessential qualities of the world's greatest wine styles. The Pinot Grigio entrant had to be dry. It had to be jam-packed with citrus. It had to pounce with energy and freshness. So we went to a family winery in Delle Venezie, the Pinot Grigio heaven. Grapes ripen luxuriously in an Alpine climate here to bring buckets of taste to your glass. (2018)

Devaux 'Oeil de Perdrix' Rose Champagne

77 gin Berry Gin Liqueur, England (50cl)

---

Bristol Distilling doesn't care much for tradition. Only concerned with flavour, it takes the best parts of distilling, discards the rest, and creates flavourful spirits and liqueurs regardless of convention. This sweet and fruity gin liqueur, with bursts of fresh raspberry and a hint of earthy pomegranate, pairs perfectly with tonic, lemonade and Prosecco. (NV)
