Words in bold black ink are grape varieties. For our Sherries, 75ml & 100ml are glass sizes & 375ml is a half-­‐bottle carafe. Listed in order of weight in the mouth and complexity, with the lightest & least complex at the start of each section. SHERRIES Fino sherries are the driest, palest and freshest of the traditional varieties of sherry, perfect with cured meats, olives, asparagus, anchovies, sardines, shellfish and almonds amongst other foods. Made from Palomino grapes. 75ml 100ml 375ml Cesar Florido (crisp & clean) £3.85 £5.15 £19.25 Emilio Hidalgo ‘La Panesa’ (aged/complex) £7.50 £9.95 £37 Manzanilla is a variety of Fino sherry made from grapes grown around the port of Sanlúcar de Barrameda. The layer of flor (yeast) protecting the wine is thicker here than in Jerez so the wines are that little bit fresher. Great with the same foods as above. Made from Palomino grapes. 75ml 100ml 375ml La Cigarrera (crisp with saline freshness) £3.60 £4.80 £18 Hidalgo Pasada Pastrana (longer aged, fuller) £4.50 £5.90 £22.50 Amontillado has been aged first under a cap of flor yeast, and then is exposed to oxygen, which produces a result darker than Fino but lighter than Oloroso. Great with our Jamon Bellota & light meat dishes. Made from Palomino grapes. 75ml 100ml El Maestro Sierra (light, easy drinking) £7.50 £9.95 Fernando de Castilla Antique (long aged) £8.75 £11.75 Oloroso has not been aged under flor but only aged oxidatively, producing a darker and richer wine than an Amontillado. Great with a mix of tapas especially foie gras and charcoal-­‐grilled game or red meat. Made from Palomino grapes. 75ml 100ml Gutierrez Colosia (body of a red wine, walnut) £5.75 £7.75 Fernando de Castilla Antique (long aged, complex) £9.25 £12.25 Palo Cortado is a rare variety that is initially aged under flor like an Amontillado, but develops a character similar to Oloroso. Made from Palomino grapes. 75ml 100ml Fernando de Castilla Antique (the world’s finest) £10.50 £13.75 East India is an Oloroso made from Palomino Fino and sweetened with Pedro Ximenez. This is a sweet and extremely smooth sherry that possesses a nutty, almost crème brulée taste. Dry on the finish. Great with cheese and/or dessert. 75ml 100ml Lustau East India £5.95 £7.95 Cream, like the above, but a blend of Oloroso and Moscatel. Slightly fresher than the East India with a nutty apricot taste. Again delicious with cheeses and dessert. 75ml 100ml Cruz del Mar £5.95 £7.95 Moscatel is made from the grape of the same name. This is a sweet sherry that possesses a lively acidity so makes it a lighter style than Pedro Ximenez. 75ml 100ml Cesar Florido Pasas £6.95 £8.95 Pedro Ximenez is a full-­‐bodied, intense and sweet sherry with great complexity of flavours. Typical tastes include raisins, dried apricot, caramel, vanilla & nuts. They are great with cheeses and desserts, especially ice-­‐cream & bitter chocolate. 75ml 100ml Perez Barquera Cosecha 2011 £6.95 £8.95 D.O. – stands for Denominacion de Origen i.e. the region where the wine is from – refer to the map at the front of the bar for reference if interested. Wines without D.O.’s are unclassified wines but still of great quality at their price. Words highlighted in bold black ink are grape varieties. We have chosen to serve 125ml, 175ml glasses & 375ml carafes as well as full bottles. We hope you enjoy exploring the wine list in the same way as you might enjoy choosing a number of different tapas. WHITE WINE Albarino The indigenous Albarino grape produces aromatic white wines that are great when drunk alone but also a perfect match for seafood.
