| |

15.50 |
| This is a delicious, clean wine, with a minty, herby, floral nose (roses) with citrus and spice flavours on the palate. Full flavoured with a mineralic edge, this is a serious wine with plenty of complexity. It is made from a blend of Moschofilero, Kidonista, Thrapsa, Petroulianos and Asprovaria grapes all organically grown.

| |
| Notios White (Gaia) |
15.90 |
| Notios means the ‘one from the south’ or ‘southerner’ indicating the southern Mediterranean region.This is a wine full of personality harnessing the inherent crisp flavoursome fruit characters. Two Greek varieties join their characteristics: Moschofilero, harvested from the Arcadian plateaus, adds a vibrant, floral flavour while Roditis, from the Corinthian slopes provides a smooth lemony character. Their matching is both elegant and harmonious. Strong aroma of rose and fruits of apple, strawberry, banana. In the mouth, initially sweet with refreshing acidity, light with mineral taste and a sense of lemon at the finish. |
| |

| |
| Thalassitis AO Santorini (Gaia) |
19.50 |
| Like Botticelli’s Venus, Santorini Island with its Assyrtiko grapes, rises from the sea and gives birth to Thalassitis (tr: Of the Sea), a dry white wine of a remarkable character. Light yellow colour with grey hues. Low-intensity aromas of citrus, mineral and baked bread and a keen edge of tart apples. The first sweet assault quickly makes way for acidity and the salty mineral taste of the volcanic terroir that lead to a crisp finish. This is certainly a food wine with a strong personality. |
| |

16.50 |
| Samaropetra is the outcome of the inspired blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Gewurztraminer and Roditis. This dry wine has a rich yellow colour with greenish tints that witness its young character.

Red Wines |
| |
| Makedonikos (Tsantali) |
11.90 |
| From Makedonia (Northern Greece) this excellent light and fruity semi dry red wine is elegantly scented with crushed raspberries and cranberries. Made from a blend of Xinomavro (sour black) and Cinsault grape varieties. Bright ruby red with a hint of violet, a sign of its youth and freshness. A lively, lightly tannic wine with silky soft astringency revealing a balanced fruity structure . |
| |
| Othello (KEO) |
12.50 |
| A popular medium to full bodied dry red wine from Cyprus with a rich aroma and soft fruity taste of ripe fruit and berries. Spends 6-8 months in two year old casks. Rather rustic and youthful. Produced from two grape varieties, Mavro and Ofthalmo, specially selected from vineyards in Vouni Panayias and Madhari Pitsillias grown at altitude. |
| |
| Aes Ambelis (Kalo Horio) |
12.90 |
| This excellent quality red wine from Cyprus is a skilfull blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Maratheftiko and Mataro grapes from the Nicosia wine makers of Kalo Chorio Orinis. Balanced and full bodied it carries rich aromas of berries, vanilla and pepper. The velvety flavour of the fruits and spices create its complete and lasting aftertaste. |
| |
| Ayios Elias (Monte Royia) |
13.50 |
| This wine is made from the local Cypriot varietes Maratheftiko, Ofthalmo and Mavro grown in the private vineyards of the Chryssoroyiatissa monastery in Paphos. The monastery has a rich heritage and tradition in wine-making which dates back to 1751. A pleasant nose greets you first but the wine needs a few minutes to reveal the wonderful blackcurrant with its slowly lingering aftertaste. |
| |
| Naoussa (Boutari) |
14.50 |
| A classic dry wine from the Xinomavro (sour black) grape grown throughout Western Makedonia. Xinomavro is king in northern Greece, so omnipresent that it is called Mavro Naoussis (black of Naoussa) in the region. Deep red in colour, with a strong personality. It gives off a rich bouquet of ripe red fruit that comes with aging in oak casks (cinnamon, wood) that is followed by hints of chocolate and vanilla. Full-bodied, well-balanced, with soft tannins at the finish. |
| |
| Tsiakkas (Pitsilia) |
12.90 |
| Interesting and full of character made from blending Cabernet Sauvignon with Mavro, Ambelisimo, Pambatzies and Mataro local grapes from the Higher Pitsilia region in Cyprus where vineyards grow above 1300 meters. The microclimate of the region and the blending result in a smooth texture with very good fruit concentration and a balanced acidity. A fine, medium bodied, seductively rich red wine with some complexity and a generous after taste. |
| |
| Notios Red (Gaia) |
15.90 |
| Notios (the Southerner) originates from low-yield Agiorgitiko grapes (St George) of the hills surrounding Nemea. This is an ultra modern wine with a velvet carpet of red berries and cherries and a cut of fresh acidity. Deeply coloured and deeply scented. A young wine with tones that are reminiscent of blackberries and their violet hue. Discernible are the intense aromas that typify the Agiorgitiko, that is sour cherry, but whose exceptional maturing of the grapes has led to a high alcohol content and reminds us of sour cherries in alcohol. Passage through the cask has enriched it with a discreet woody scent. A low tannin content underscores its rich, well structured, velvety body. |
| |
| D’ Ahera (KEO) |
16.50 |
| A cherry colour red full bodied dry wine with mellow taste and rich bouquet from Cyprus. Fresh, grapey fruit, reminiscent of a Beaujolais with a load of cherry and berry fruit, well balanced by crisp but not over the top acidity. Produced from a blend of Grenache and Lefkas grown at KEO’s privately owned vineyards in Ahera region in Nicosia. Ages for four years in oak barrels and in bottles in isothermic cellars. |
| |
| Agiorgitiko (Boutari) |
16.50 |
| Another wonderful example of the St George (Agiorgitiko) grape and it is marvellous next to dishes of red meat and tomato sauces. Enchanting on the nose, juicy soft on the palate, with delicate aromas of oak, wonderfully underlined by a velvety taste of red plum, blackberry and hints of clove and cinnamon. |
| |
| Porfyros (Spiropoulos) |
17.50 |
| This organic wine from the Peloponnese region is a Bordeaux style wine made from a blend of Agiorgitiko (St George) (40%), Cabernet Sauvignon (30%) and Merlot (30%). After fermentation it is barrel aged for fifteen months and bottle aged for twelve months resulting in a dense purple colour. Smoky nose with hints of damp leaves and strawberries. The palate displays a seam of pure, bright cherry fruit with a coating of sweet vanilla and a caramel note. Finely balanced with rich yet soft tannins which all amounts to a long expensive finish. |
| |
| Cava Cambas (Cambas) |
21.50 |
| Cava Cambas Red is a wine with a unique appearance. It all started back in 1981 when the Cambas underground cellars were flooded, revealing an astonishing sight of bottles of Cava red covered with mud! Since then the bottles have kept their muddy appearance. An exquisite wine made from selected Agiorgitiko (St George) grapes with a velvety smooth fruity flavour. Matured for eighteen months in oak barrels and a further eighteen months in the bottle. Deep ruby colour, soft mature bouquet with a hint of vanilla and cinnamon. A full bodied wine with a fine balance of ripe currant, blackberry flavours and oak overtones. Long lasting aftertaste. This wine is only produced in vintage years. |
| |
| Yiannakohori (Kir Yianni) |
22.50 |
| Inspired by the name of the village closest to the estate, Yianakohori is produced from selected grapes and makes an excellent vin de garde. It consists of the indigenous Xinomavro and Merlot grapes that blend harmoniously. It is a youthful wine with a lively intense red colour and a rich, dense and complex bouquet that discreetly highlights white pepper and cedar. On the palate, cinnamon and raspberry are descriptors commonly ascribed to it. Its fine balance and long aftertaste will please the most discerning of wine lovers. |
| |
| Megas Oinos (Skouras) |
26.90 |
| The epitome of finesse. Made from Agiorgitiko (St George) 80% and Cabernet Sauvignon 20%. Ageing in new Alliers barrels for 18 months followed by 6 months bottle ageing. Rich violet colour with deep blue tinges. Intense aroma of fresh wood (cedar) with hints of leather. Swirling releases spices (cinnamon, clove) and, in small doses, raspberry, raisin and quince.The initial sweet assault continues with relatively highlighted acidity offering the wine a somewhat lively taste. The mouth of average body and smoothed-out tannins give a long luscious flavour which is rounded off by hints of dense fruits and black pepper with the cabernet’s bite. This is a class act! |
| |
| Gaia Estate AO Nemea |
29.50 |
| This wine is 100% Agiorgitiko (St George), an indigenous Greek grape that can attain wonderful quality when handled with care. From a meticulous estate that follows strict rules on biological agriculture, this is the flagship wine of Gaia. Aged in French oak casks, the deep, juicy flavours of the grape are enhanced by an almost claret-like cedary fragrance. The nose displays a mellow toastiness, with woody notes and coffee, but the main driving force is wonderfully lush sweet berry fruit. On the palate there's a density of fruit, very rich and mouthfilling. Medium-bodied with good acidity to keep it fresh and food-friendly as well as some fine, silky tannins adding some savoury strength. |
