Wine List

Sparkling & Aperitif Wines

Nothing starts a meal as well as wine w/ bubbles, but the wines we’ve chosen will all go further in complementing our food. In addition a great, though sadly now unfashionable sherry, that – perhaps surprisingly – sets off our appetisers w/ a zing

Fantinel Prosecco Extra Dry, Friuli–Venezia Giulia, Italy (11.5%)

28.00

A dry, fruity prosecco, w/ typical sherbet fizzy notes. This makes a lovely accompaniment to poppadom & chutneys or the memsaab salad.

Codorniu Pinot Noir Brut Rosé Cava, Spain (12%)

23.00

A salmon pink cava w/ fine creamy bubbles, fragrances of raspberry, blackberry & strawberry & a citric typical cava note. The fizz & fresh flavours lift the wine, enabling it to set off a wide range of flavours at the beginning of, or even all through, a meal.

La Guita Manzanilla Sherry, Spain (15%)

3.00 - 13.00

This classic very dry aperitif has the strength of flavour to match salty & strong flavoured appetisers. Beautiful w/ our namkeen nuts, also try it w/ jhinga hara masala, you’ll be amazed.

Champagnes

Perrier-Jouet Grand Brut (12%)

7.95 - 45.00

A champagne of considerable charm. Perrier-jouet is light, but displays a rich soft-apple fruit & an easy-drinking, well balanced style that make it extremely popular, it accompanies our pre-starters so well.

Bollinger Rosé Champagne (12%)

65.00

A top class rosé that still punches well above its weight. It is very much in the bollinger style w/ plenty of depth & complexity. Fine, fruity & fullflavoured, a brilliant wine w/ our food.

Taittinger Brut Réserve Champagne (12%)

27.00 - 50.00

A very elegant champagne, w/ subtle & persistent brioche flavours, a wonderful start to the meal, on its own or w/ any of the sabzi selection.

Dom Pérignon Brut Champagne (12.5%)

145.00

An iconic champagne, made only in great years. The last word in finesse, complexity & luxury

Crisp & Fresh White Wines

These wines work by framing the food w/ clean, cool refreshment. This is helped by the aromatics in the wine, which give another dimension of interest to balance the food.

Altonzano Verdejo-Sauvignon Blanc, Gonzalez Byass, Spain (12.5%)

17.50

Floral & lemongrass aromas w/ balanced, creamy fruit on the palate. A great value accompaniment to the starters.

Villa Maria Cellar Selection Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough NZ (14%)

24.50

Notes of gooseberry & passion fruit on the nose. It is fresh & beautifully crisp on the palate while being vibrantly fruity, ending in a long zingy finish. Has depth to go w/ many dishes – try it w/ our salmon tikka, or any fish dish.

Cullinan View Chenin Blanc, Robertson South Africa (12.7%)

16.00

South africa’s most popular grape variety. Light, fresh & well balanced but quite full, creamy & round, w/ a peachy fruit flavour. A great all rounder.

Sancerre “La Gravelière” (Joseph Mellot), Loire, France (12.5%)

30.00

Sancerre is one of the loire valley’s, & hence the world’s, top sauvignon blanc wines. This ‘cuvee’ undergoes a lengthier skin contact than is usual which results in greater depth & weight in flavour. This wine has beautiful floral & grapefruit aromas & is ably supported by a lovely long finish, a classy frame for our cuisine.

Pinot Grigio Delle Venezia Giulia “Lumina”, Ruffino, Italy (12%)

19.00

Meadow flowers, w/ citrus, pears & pleasant hints of pineapple. This medium-bodied wine has the freshness to balance many dishes on our menu.

Chateau Sainte Michelle Riesling, Washington State, USA (11%)

26.00

A lovely new world riesling, w/ a pungent nose, lovely balance of aromatics, acidity & sweet fruit. Perfect w/ goan fish or vegetable dishes & wonderful w/ all our starters & drier curries.

Petit Chablis (J Moreau Et Fils), France (12.5%)

26.00

Showing all the characteristics of the appellation, this has lemony freshness & vivacity, underpinned by light minerality. Try it w/ sigri jhingha.

Torres Viña Esmerelda, Catalunya, Spain (11.5%)

20.00

A wonderfully grapey fresh wine, w/ notes of honeysuckle, ripe pear & sweet spice. The freshness & depth of aroma make the wine brilliant w/ all the starters & chicken tikka.

Rose Wines

Rosé wines work very well w/ spicy cuisine as they combine the refreshment of white wines w/ a higher level of fruit that balances the strength of flavour in the food. Rosé makes a great choice w/ a wide range of dishes.

Solandia Primitivo Rosé, Sicily, Italy (11%)

16.00

This delicious rosé delivers an off-dry style wine which is full of ripe raspberry fruit, red cherry & a hint of spice on the finish. This works well w/ sigri dishes.

Coteaux D’Aix-en-Provence Rosé, Chateau De Beaulieu (12.5%)

21.50

A beautiful rosé, summer fruits & mediterranean herbs particularly complement vegetarian starters & fish dishes such as amritsari machli, but the wine has enough flavour to accompany dishes throughout the meal.

White Zinfandel Vendange, California, USA (11%)

17.00

An easy-going wine w/ light flowery-fruity aromas. The off-dry strawberry flavours are delightful even w/ strong flavoured food.

Soul Tree Indian Rosé, Maharashtra, India (12.5%)

5.00 - 18.00

A genuine indian wine that has depth of fruit, suppleness & a hint of sweetness that, unsurprisingly, go w/ a wide range of indian food.

Rich & Deep White Wines

These are wines which work by the fruit, richness & depth of flavour in the wine balancing the strong flavours in the food. They have the weight to accompany dishes throughout the menu.

Villa Maria Private Bin Gewurztraminer, East Coast NZ (13.6%)

24.00

A classic w/ spicy food, this shows typical rose, lychee & ginger notes 0with enough gentle spice & sweet fruit to complement any spicy dish, especially good w/ tikka, tandoori & all vegetable dishes w/ ginger.

Lapostolle “Cuvee Alexandre” Chardonnay, Casablanca, Chile (14%)

24.00

A vanilla-oaky nose, w/ a very creamy texture balanced by a citric acidity & some warmth. Really comes into its own w/ any creamy dish, & perfect w/ a korma.

Gavi Di Gavi “La Toledana” Villa Lantana, Piemonte, Italy (13%)

25.50

With peach, pear, hints of citrus & a slight honeyed edge held together by steely minerality & acidity, this complex wine is a delight w/ so many dishes. It has the weight to cope w/ anything, but sets off chicken dishesexceptionally.

Mersault, Louis Jadot Burgundy, France (13%)

49.50

White burgundy from the most iconic village & a good producer. Loads of fresh peach & floral aromas w/ touches of citrus & a hint of toasted almonds. Buttery & rich enough to match up w/ any creamy sauce

Orvieto Classico Amabile, Bigi, Italy (11.5%)

18.00

This traditional, off-dry style of orvieto has fresh, ripe, peach & apricot flavours & a hint of almonds. The softer style helps to counter-point & pen up complex spice flavours. Works w/ all the starters, especially – & perhaps surprisingly – w/ lahori lamb or sigri.

Pinot Gris (René Muré), Alsace, France (13%)

26.00

A really lovely wine! Quite a subtle nose of aromatic & floral elements that go well w/ starters, but the wine has depth to perfectly match tikka masala, a combination that makes both the wine & the food sing – a delightful experience!

Flagstone “Word of Mouth” Viognier, South Africa (14%)

21.50

This cool-climate viognier has aromas of watermelon & peach w/ a delicate hint of spice. Richness on the palate, common to viognier, w/ hints of oriental spice make the wine go well w/ daal, goan & other creamy dishes

Pouilly-Fuissé “Les Ancolies” (Loron), Burgundy, France (13%)

34.00

A dry yet rich white burgundy from this most prestigious of the mâconnais vineyards. It is a chardonnay that combines honeyed peachy richness w/ a citrus freshness, a match to tandoor dishes.

Sweet Wines

Great for accompanying desserts – either fruit or milk based – but also wonderful for finishing off a meal on their own

Moscatel Naturalmente Dulce, Finca Antigua, Spain (12.5%)

5.00 - 22.00

A lovely, grapey fresh-tasting wine made from sun-dried grapes producing significant sweetness. Fruitier desserts or even ice-cream work w/ it. If you like the viña esmerelda w/ the main course you’ll love this!

Kia-Ora Late Harvest (Kanu), Western Cape, South Africa (11.5%)

5.00 - 22.00

A chenin blanc based wine w/ 10% viognier that is made sweet by noblerot. It has lovely marmalade & apricot notes & fabulous underlying acidity that allows it to go w/ even the stickiest dessert.

Ferreira Tawny Port, Portugal (19.5%)

3.00 - 25.00

A great digestif. Strong dry fruit flavours cope well w/ any sweet dish, & round off a meal beautifully.

Red Wines

Although whites & roses give coolness & fragrance to indian cuisine, many of our guests prefer to drink red, especially w/ lamb dishes or curries w/ strong flavoured sauces. The natural inclination is to match big flavour wines to strong flavoured dishes, but this is a great challenge as tannin or spicy flavours in the wine can clash w/ those in the food. We have paid particular attention to this challenge in developing our red list & we are sure you’ll find several options to enhance your meal. We hope all these wines show fruit & richness – they are listed in rough order of weight from the lightest to the fullest.

Errázuriz Merlot, Curicó Valley, Chile (13.5%)

21.00

A plum fruit, soft supple merlot from a good site in chile. The soft rounded tannins & sweet berry fruit go well w/ chops, kebabs, drier mains, balti & tandoori dishes.

Terra Andina Reserva Pinot Noir, Casablanca Valley, Chile (13.7%)

18.00

Earthy black cherry & raspberry flavours & aromas, mingled w/ a soft touch of vanilla & coconut. Medium-full bodied & rich, w/ a soft & velvety texture. A delight w/ starters or drier dishes like chicken tikka, & even fish curries.

Errázuriz Carménère, Aconcagua Valley, Chile (13.5%)

20.00

A medium-bodied wine w/ big, mouth-filling tannins, balanced by sweet oak. Spicy notes linger on the palate, w/ hints of dark chocolate & coffee. Try it w/ keema matar.

Rare Vineyards Carignan Vieilles Vignes, (Pays D’Herault), France (12.5%)

21.00

40 year-old vines give a tremendous depth of flavour & fruit. Intense & bold, wild herbs & plums

Rioja Crianza “Cantos De Valpiedra”, Rioja, Spain (13%)

28.00

A lovely black fruit, sweetly oak-edged rioja. This has the unusual merit of accompanying all the hot-sauced curries. Par excellence w/ slow cooked lamb or garlic chilli lamb

Cabernet Sauvignon Lot 40 (Luis Felipe Edwards), Rappel Valley, Chile (14%)

5.50 - 17.00

Deep red w/ ripe berry fruit & wispy green pepper. Medium-bodied ripe tannins & lingering fruit on the finish. A lovely frame for nalli gosht.

Unsung Hero Fair-Trade Shiraz, Western Cape, South Africa (14.5%)

24.00

The spicy, blackberry flavours of shiraz are a natural to accompany indian food, but so many examples have a hard, salty edge that clashes badly. We had to search long for this supple fair-trade example, which goes wonderfully w/ slow-cooked lamb dishes, especially rogan josh.

Pinotage Kleine Zalze, Stellenbosch, South Africa (14.5%)

19.00

A very modern style of pinotage, w/ a deep, fruity nose & rich berry flavours w/ hints of prunes & without those harsh tannins which are often found in other versions. This helps it complement the hottest jalfrezie curry or chicken karahai.

Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico (Bolla) Veneto, Italy (15%)

39.50

Made from dried grapes, to concentrate their flavours & bring added complexity to the wine. This produces a full-bodied, long wine w/ a rich texture & flavours of black cherries, prunes & cedar spice. Enough oomph to cope w/ anything.

Corte Vigna Merlot Delle Venezie, Italy (12%)

4.50 - 16.00

Good upfront briary fruit flavours balanced w/ soft integrated tannins & almost vanilla-like finish. An easy-going accompaniment to starters & simpler dishes.

Salice Salentino 35 Parellelo, Puglia, Italy (13%)

21.00

Juicy, red & dark fruit-packed wine w/ a smooth, slightly smoky finish

Brancott “Terraces” Pinot Noir, Marlborough, New Zealand (14%)

27.00

This classy pinot has ripe cherry & violet w/ spicy highlights & rich plum notes. The palate is sweet ripe cherry & plum fruit w/ spicy complexity & a smooth, chocolate finish. A lovely rich pinot for all the drier dishes.

Gevrey-Chambertin, Louis Jadot Burgundy, France (13%)

49.50

A sumptuous pinot noir from a very famous village & a good producer. A deep colour w/ a berry & red fruit bouquet, a full tannic structure & a lasting finish. This powerful & perfumed wine requires elaborate, full flavoured foods.

Don Jacobo Rioja Crianza, Bodegas Corral, Spain (12.5%)

6.00 - 21.00

Memsaab’s most popular red, & it’s easy to see why. Bright cherry & raspberry flavours w/ creamy oak notes. A classic w/ drier lamb dishes.

Faustino v Rioja Reserva, Rioja, Spain (13.5%)

34.00

This well-loved rioja is a velvety & harmonious wine w/ intense aromas & flavours combining effortlessly w/ acidity & tannins leading to richness & spice on the finish. Its velvety soft fruit makes a brilliant allrounder!

Salentein Reserve Malbec, Valle De Uco, Mendoza

24.00

A classy & well integrated malbec of great depth & length. The nose has some oak notes but also bright plum & berry fruit aromas. The palate has sweet berry, even cherry, flavours offset by mild herb, spice & oak notes. Soft tannins define the finish; making a lovely frame for the supple fruit to match “difficult” curries like jalfrezie.

Gigondas “Clos La Grande Boissiere”, Rhone, France (13.5%)

35.00

A robust red berry rich red, in the chateauneuf style, laden w/ warm spices.

Barolo “Il Bastione”, Piemonte, Italy (14%)

40.00

Intense garnet red, w/ a typical violet & rose scented aroma. Aged for 3 years in large oak barrel it has smooth tannins & concentrated developed savoury fruit flavours. A strong wine to complement strong flavours.
