Selection from Ye Olde Bell Wine List

White Wine
     
1. Ye Olde Bell Blanc de Blanc, France
A wonderful bold and grapey fruit nose. Long, dry, aromatic finish. Excellent as an aperitif but also superb with salad and white meats.
     
2. Ye Olde Bell Blanc Medium, France
An excellent soft, medium-dry all-rounder, retaining some vinous fruit. Slightly honeyed, almond finish. A Vouvray style of wine.
     
6. Falanghhina (Pinot Grigio Style)
Fresh, lush and lively white wine that compares well to a pinot grigio. Flavours of green apples and citrus fruits along with honey and almond
     
7. Muscadet “Blossom”, Loire Valley, France
Retaining the best characteristics of the region, it is appreciably more fruity and modern in style.
     
8. Semillon/Chardonnay, Bandicoot Estate, Australia
A distinctive blend with an elegant simplicity and refreshing, richly rounded flavours. Superb and complex with a long finish.
     
10. Sauvignon Blanc, Linaje Estate, Chile
Delicate fruity nose gives way to a palate of uplifting acidity and rounded gooseberry fruit flavours.
     
12. Sauvignon Blanc, Mission Estate New Zealand
The colour is pale yellow with green tints. The ripe bouquet is of tropical fruit, citrus, passion fruit and gooseberry.
     

Rose Wine
     
4. Ye Olde Bell Rose Blush, France
A fresh fruity wine full of fantastic flavours of summer fruits. Cool fermented to retain freshness and acidity. Quite delicious!
     
25. Pinotage Rose JUNO Cape Maidens
A refreshing crisp, deep salmon pink wine with hints of pomegranate, green toffee apple and chutney.
     

Red Wine
     
3. Ye Olde Bell Rouge Prestige, France
A well balanced bright, cherry red/violet tinged wine with aromas of redcurrant, blackberry and raspberry. It has an elegant, fruity and very subtle palate.
     
14. Merlot/Cabernet, Juno, South Africa
Definite berry character on the palate this rich, smooth wine is well-balanced with a delightfully subtle aftertaste.
     
17. Rioja Tempranillo, Bodegas Carlos Serres, Spain
This wine should be judged on its pure, honest, fruit-driven taste which also manages to include some interesting, gamey hints with a developing length.
     
19. Shiraz/Cabernet, Bungaree Crossing, Australia
This wine is made in the Western district of Victoria where the climate is cool. An artful blend of the vibrant shiraz and the classic elegance of the Cabernet.
     
21. Cabernet Sauvignon, Antano Single Vineyard, Chile
Deep violet colour with complex aromas of pepper, red fruit, vanilla and wood. Well structured, tasty and balanced, full of ripe berries.
     
23. Cabernet/Merlot, Mission Estate, New Zealand
The aromas are of raspberry and cherry, with good depth and complexity. It has good fruit and a medium bodied palate, showing the fine grained, soft tannins.
     

Sparkling & Champagne
     
36. Prosecco di Valdobbiadene, Brut Montelliana, Italy
In contrast with most Prosecco, Montelliana uses the traditional method of secondary fermentation to produce a smooth effervescence and long lasting bubbles.
     
37. Kraemer Brut, Cuvee Close, France
A sparkling dry white with plenty of fruit on the palate and delicate small bubbles.
     
38. G. Gruet & Fils Grande Reserve, Brut NV
A simply wonderful champagne made using a high proportion of reserve wines which has produced a fruity cuvee of great finesse and a subtle harmony of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
     
       
Le Bon Vin pride themselves on being “The wine merchant with a difference” and “A day without wine is like a day without sunshine”.
