Northcote’s Wine List

Some recommended wines from Craig’s wine list which will make stunning matches with Nigel’s new dishes.

Selection of wine pictures
The British White Beef Tartar

Chateau de Selle Rose, Cotes de Provence, Domains Ott 2004
Great Rose from the province which blends brilliantly with Nigel’s Beef Tartar, This wine has become incredibly popular with the stars.

Smoked Eel

Esporao Reserva, Alentejo, Herdadedo Esporao 2004
A great smokey back drop to this Portuguese classic and will link up memorably with smoked eel.

Roebuck Fillet

Tinto Cao, Quinta do Crasto 1999
The tenderest of all Venison, with a hint of sweetness which will be a fabulous combination with complex undertones.

Milk Fed Bowland Lamb

Pinot Noir, Geelong and Yarra Valley, Shadowfax 2003
This Light and warming pinot from Australia has got real style and will be gentle with the milk fed lamb.

Iced White Chocolate Mousse

Rasteau, Vin Doux Naturel, Rhone, Domaine de Trapadis, France 2001
Rasteau Naturel is an incredibly rich complex dessert wine which is heavenly matched with chocolate.

New Season’s Cherry Cheesecake

Opitz One, Vin de Paille, Willi Opitz, Austria 2000
This wine is for those who really want to indulge in stella wine at a stella price, exceptional, rare and will be perfect with cherries.

Craig works very closely with Julian Kaye of the Wright Wine company to develop his wine list, these and many more wines can be purchased from the Wright Wine company and Byrnes of Clitheroe. www.wineandwhisky.co.uk
