Proudly Welsh
Our Welsh red — Gwinllan Conwy "Rondo" — is medium-bodied with damson, blackberry and a soft vanilla finish from light oak. Made in Wales, served in Wales.
House wines by the glass
Wines marked House are available in 175ml and 250ml measures as well as by the bottle. All other wines are bottle only.
Whites
Italy
Fresh, dry and delicate. Soft white blossom and citrus zest open to a cool stone-fruit core — pear, white peach — with a clean, lemony lift on the finish. A versatile, easy-drinking aperitif white.
South Africa
A serious unoaked Chardonnay — pure, mineral and gently textured. Wild-yeast fermentation and lees ageing give a creamy mid-palate of orchard fruit, lemon curd and a flinty, almost saline finish. Refreshing without being austere.
New Zealand
Crisp, dry and aromatic. Vibrant grapefruit, passionfruit and gooseberry leap from the glass, with a fresh-cut grass note and a zesty, mouth-watering finish. The wine for fresh herbs and bright sauces.
Uruguay
Unoaked, refreshing and saline-mineral. Ripe pear, melon and apricot are wrapped in white blossom, a twist of lemon zest, and a rounded, lees-derived texture. A coastal-feeling white that adores seafood and gentle spice.
Nahe, Germany
Young, dry, streamlined Nahe Riesling — green apple, lime and white peach over a slatey, mineral spine. A delicate spritz keeps it lifted. Razor-sharp acidity makes this the wine for chilli heat.
Razor-sharp acidity makes this the wine for chilli heat — handles spice better than any other bottle on the list.
Rosé
France
Pale Provençal-style rosé. Delicate aromas of strawberry, raspberry and a whisper of redcurrant; the palate is dry, crisp and elegantly light, finishing clean and stony. A summer terrace wine that flexes across the menu.
Reds
Rhône, France
A medium-bodied southern Rhône blend. Dark cherry and bramble fruit are dusted with garrigue herbs and gentle white pepper. Soft, supple tannins and a savoury, food-friendly finish.
South Africa
Smooth, dry and medium-bodied. Ripe plum and blackberry fruit with a brush of cocoa, soft velvety tannins and a rounded, gently sweet-fruited finish. The crowd-pleaser.
Australia
Rich, dry and full-bodied. Ripe blackberry, dark plum and a hallmark grind of black pepper. Tannins are soft and rounded, the finish warming and lingering. Built for char and smoke.
Rioja, Spain
A modern, unoaked Rioja. Juicy red cherry, raspberry and a touch of liquorice; medium-bodied, soft and approachable, with a fresh, summer-fruited finish. Easy company at the table.
Mendoza, Argentina
Fruit-led, generous Mendoza Malbec. Inky blackberry and damson plum with a dusting of cocoa and warm baking spice. Plush tannins, a glossy texture and a long, warming finish.
Vin de France
Light- to medium-bodied, juicy and crunchy Gamay. Vivid red cherry, raspberry and a violet-floral lift; almost no tannin, just lovely silky fruit. Best served lightly chilled (15 °C). The most food-flexible red on the list.
Best served lightly chilled (15 °C). The most food-flexible red on the list — and an outstanding match for Pad Thai.
Conwy, Wales
A proudly local Welsh red. Medium-bodied with damson and blackberry fruit, a savoury, leafy edge and a soft kiss of vanilla from light oak ageing. Fresh, distinctive and a real talking point.
Made in Wales, served in Wales — a wine with a story to tell.
