Aperitif

It seems crazy that grand Cru fizz can be obtained so cheaply. Superb.

This is a crisp, fruity Brut Champagne with honey, pastry and wonderful balance.

100% Grand Cru, 100% delicious. A Martinez exclusive that's drinking well now but with plenty of scope for development.

The most loved of all Champagne roses?

Light and creamy Prosecco - great with or without food (and now pocket-sized too!)

Citrus and gently floral aromas lead to a very fresh and zippy palate with crisp green apple and lightly honeyed characters. A refreshing and approachable style of fizz - yet with texture and depth underlying the bright fruit.

An appealing and very approachable Prosecco!

A fresh, zesty cava that will suit any celebration. Fantastic value. It is light golden in colour, with delicate small bubbles. The aromas are powerful and fruity, reminiscent of flowers and honey. The flavours are well developed and balanced.

Rioja's excellent Bodegas Muga makes tiny quantities of this fine sparkling wine from viura grapes grown on the Prado Enea vineyards in Rioja Alta. Classy, gentle and serious.

Lágrima (meaning 'tears') is the sweetest style of white Port.

NOTE: THIS IS A HALF BOTTLE 37.5CL Aged following a biological aging in the cool and humid air of the port town of El Puerto de Santa María, where the flor grows in ideal environmental conditions. Pale straw colour, dry, light and smooth. This Fino is laced with scents of the sea and profound “flor” aromas. Clean and fresh, with a slight taste of tangy yeast.

Fino style Sherries age under a layer of “flor” (a naturally occurring layer of yeast that grows on top of the wine in the barrel); this ensures the wines do not oxidise as there is no exposure to the air. The cooler maritime microclimate of Sanlúcar ensures flor grows particularly thickly all year round producing these very fresh, tangy Manzanillas, unlike the more oxidised Finos aged in the inland town of Jerez, where the flor dies back in the winter and summer months.

Barbadillo’s Finos are more Manzanilla-like in style, but are aged in Bodegas with less exposure to the cooling sea breezes. The flor in the barrels grows vigorously in these cellars so the wine is a little more nutty and toasty than the more appley and yeasty Manzanillas of Sanlucar.

Cream Sherry is an Oloroso that has been sweetened with the Pedro Ximénez grapes. Rich, dark and sweet, with traditional Cream character.

Leonor Palo Cortado is the latest addition to the superior range. Aged for over 12 years it has fine aromas of wood, vanilla and almonds. The palate is nutty and perfectly integrated with a long finish.

Bright, straw-like yellow colour with diamond sheen. Penetrating aromas of almonds and olives. Light and dry on the palate with hints of salt and wine with a pleasant bitterness on the finish.

The pastis Ricard was created by Paul Ricard, in Marseilles in 1932. Our pride is, as always, in giving pleasure. Ricard was born in sunny Marseille back in 1932. To reveal the delicacy of the anise, the fresh taste of the liquorice and the subtle Provence herbs

Portugal’s most popular Douro white wine and it is easy to see why. Vinified from grapes grown at high altitude (Planalto translates as “High Plains”) to retain freshness and delicacy in this hot region, this is a deliciously vibrant wine boasting ripe citrus and floral aromas.

A parcel of attractively ripe, textural Sem Sauv, showing some evolution but still holding up well thanks to the quality of old vine Semillon, 30% naturally fermented, and extended ageing on lees before bottling. Excellent wine for the money.

Bouchard Finlayson's geographic location, lying within five kilometres of the cool Atlantic Ocean, offers the most ideal climate of the Cape for Sauvignon Blanc.

This is Martinez Wines HOMEMADE Mulled Wine. Get into the Christmas spirit and have our famous, homemade, mulled wine bottled to take home. Fruity, vibrant, spicy and aromatic, this stuff has become the talk of the town.

This magnificent producer needs no introduction.

In a pale yellow colour shines a joyous foam that is subtle and persistent, enhancing the soft, youthful fragrance. The characteristic aroma ranges from fruity to floral. It is a soft wine, at once velvety and dry thanks to its balanced acidic notes. Splendidly balanced, it is undoubtedly a product of superior quality. The surprising freshness that tickles as it lingers, makes this wine suitable for all occasions. A fine aperitif that is also excellent with shellfish.

With a brilliant dark red appearance and good depth on the rim, the wine exhibits aromas of cherries and dark plums along with a fine minty, liquorice aroma. On the palate, well integrated tannins dominate along with superbly evolved fruit and good length. A vibrant wine starting to show some bottle age. It is certainly drinking beautifully now but it can be aged for several decades.
