The wines on offer at The White Eagle are rotated throughout the year dependant on the season, or special occassions. Below is a list of the most popular wine which we serve at the White Eagle.
|
Majolini Brut N.V.
(my-oh-lee-nee)
This is made the same way as Champagne, from the same grapes, by a Champagne winemaker and it has the fresh biscuit and apple Danish flavours that are so prized, yet rarely found in Champagne. Simply the best non-Champagne we have tasted.
Lombardy, Italy. |
 |
Majolini Electo 2000
(my-oh-lee-nee)
This is the vintage wine of Majolini and is a full and powerful Franciacorta with tropical and citrus fruit, spiced apple, freshly baked walnut bread.
Lombardy, Italy. |
|
Billecart-Salmon Brut Reserve N.V.
(bil-car-sam-on)
Champagne must be good to force its way onto our list, this is a classic, we are pleased to list it.
The Marne Valley, France. |
|
Majolini Altera 2003
(my-oh-lee-nee)
Pink fizz rarely gets better than this; fantastic strawberry fruit with a touch of peach.
Lombardy, Italy. |
|
Mathelin Viognier 2006
(mat-ey-lan)
This legendary vine has moved form its home in the Northern Rhone to the sun-drenched Languedoc where it makes lovely fresh, peachy wine that is all to easy to drink.
Languedoc, France. |
|
Bois d'Yver Sauvignon Blanc 2006
(boo-wa dee-ver)
A classic little Sauvignon at an unreasonably fair price.
Burgundy, France. |
|
Luigi Righetti Bianco di Custoza 2005
(loo-eej-ee rig-yeti)
Lovely and soft with generous, slightly tropical fruit and enough acidity to give it some crunch.
Veneto, Italy. |
|
Plozner Pinot Grigio 2005
(plotz-ner)
Touches of salinity carry the pear friut through to a long and refreshing finish with touches of sage and marjoram. Proper Pinot Grigio.
Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy. |
|
Emilio Bulfon Sciaglin 2005
(bull-fon)
Delicately aromatic in the glass and piercingly immediate on the palate. The minerality is not to be underestimated, and the fruit shines out throughout the length; not quite like any other white wine you’ve tasted, and in a very good way.
Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy. |
|
Marrisou 1er Rully 2002
Classic white Burgundy from an excellent producer, a style that is unique to this corner of France and always a pleasure. Rich and fine with a vein of minerality, spice, ripe lemon and apple fruit.
Burgundy, France. |
|
Plozner Quattroperuno 2005
(plotz-ner)
Tropical aromatics with concentrated lime, pineapple and tomato leaf. If you like the Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, without doubt you are going to love this.
Lombardy, Italy. |
|
Vinas del Vero Cabernet Rosato 2005
A deeply coloured Spanish Rosé made from Cabernet Sauvignon. Lovely strawberries and cream fruit, a great aperitivo.
Somontano, Aragon, Spain. |
|
Castel di Salve Santi Medici Rosato 2005
Nice and dry, fruity without being overblown, very pretty colour, perfect.
Puglia, Italy. |
|
Las Corazas Tempranillo 2005
(lass-cor-as-as)
A smoky, fruity red made from the same grape as Rioja. We have been very impressed by this wine, a Thursday night classic.
Central Spain. |
|
Luigi Righetti Bardolino Classico 2005
(loo-eej-ee rig-yeti)
A classic, juicy Bardolino, all cherry and berry fruit, no tannin, just a hint of mint and sweet herbs. This is so good chilled (or useful on the trip to becoming that way), simply a great little wine.
Veneto, Italy. |
|
Villa Giada I Suri 2005
(Vil-ah Gee-arda)
Perfect Barbera that is vibrant in the glass with bright cherry fruit and very soft tannins. It goes with pretty much every sort of food, and is damn fine on its own. We are oft heard to say that if you don’t like this, we can’t help you
Piemonte, Italy. |
|
La Montecchia Ca’ Emo 2004
(la-mon-teck-ee-ya)
Owner Giordano is in line for our own throne (someway down it fortunately) and his passion for this wine shines through. An artistocrotic Cabernet / Merlot blend with a great label.
Arquà, Italy. |
|
Luigi Righetti Amarone "Roari" 2003
(loo-eej-ee rig-yeti)
They don't mess about though these Venetians, if they are going to produce a full rich wine with layer upon layer of nuanced fruit with seemingly unlimited power; they go all out until that's exactly what they have.
Veneto, Italy. |
|
Castel di Salve Cento 2004
A huge red from Puglia's own slightly wild son, Primitivo. Spicy and robust, something to scare the Aussie's with.
Puglia, Italy. |
|
Brovia Barolo 2000
Paradoxically this is a remarkably delicate wine with violet and fresh cherry flavours. It is huge, with the subtle elements woven into the grand bramble, truffle and chocolate theme, also with touches of herb and smoke
Castiglione Falletto, Italy. |
|
Villa Giada "Andrea" 2005
(vil-ah gee-arda)
Sheer joy; a Moscato taken from a single estate whose ethos is to make this as elegant and fresh as possible. Lightly sparkling, grapey and very elegant.
Piedmont, Italy. |
|
Le Case Bianche Passito 2003
(le-car-say be-ankay)
It was only a few years ago when the first vintage was made. This is a bit of an oddball, there is only one other Passito of Prosecco I have tasted (the ancient 'Torchiato di Fregona'). That was all marmalade and I love marmalade so we bought it.
Veneto, Italy. |
|
Quinta da Val de Figueira Port 1995
(kin-ta da val di fig-ware-ah)
Deep, curranty fruit with hints of honey and caramel but not overly sweet, actually not that far from a red wine. A rare and enjoyable style which, though full bodied, does not overpower.
Douro, Portugal. |
