Wines at The Anupam

We have a good selection of beers including speciality Indian brews.
Our wines are chosen by Robin Jones, who used to have the famous Croque-en-Bouche restaurant in Malvern Wells. His wine skills give us a fine selection, which starts with Italian house wines at a modest nine pounds.
A selection of the other 40+ wines is below starting with the fizz and the whites:

Assertive, dry, fruity, well-made wine from South Africa.

SUTTER HOME WHITE ZINFANDEL

A soft, off-dry California wine that is, in fact, a delicate pink. Very quaffable and only nine degrees strength.

Clean, fresh dry flavours, no oak. From Southern France.

CODDINGTON VINEYARD BACCHUS
2005. 13.00

Our most local vineyard, only a couple of miles the other side of the hills, as the crow flies; off-dry, light and fruity.

MARQUES DE CACERES RIOJA BLANCO
2004. 13.50
HALF: 7.20

Clean, light and dry. A good example of modern Spanish winemaking. The bodega is French owned.

PINOT GRIGIO 2005. (MEZZACORONA)
15.50

There’s plenty of this Northern Italian white around, but most doesn’t taste of much. Not from us! This wine sings, clean and super fruity. Tops in a WINE Magazine tasting.

VILLA MARIA SAUVIGNON BLANC
2004. 16.50
HALF: 8.50

New Zealand is now a favourite wine area, and especially for its sauvignon wines; zippy, dry, super-fruity. Bottles are with the now-favoured screw tops.

VILLA MARIA CHARDONNAY 2002. 16.50

Deliciously fruity and aromatic wine, with a light oak tang; not expensive for the quality.

RED PADDOCK CHARDONNAY 2003.
HALF: 8.50

Clean, un-oaked varietal character from South Australia.

GEWURZTRAMINER 2003.
(HAULLER) 18.50

Alsace wine with a medium-dry, spicy, and very aromatic character; goes with strong flavours.

SAINT VERAN SENAILLAT 2003. 19.00
HALF: 9.80

Classy white burgundy from the Maçonnaise, though with all the flavour of a Puligny-Montrachet or Meursault.

VOUVRAY 2002. (BREDIF) 19.00
HALF: 9.80

A classic wine of the Loire, from a renowned grower. Soft, three-quarters dry style.

CHABLIS PREMIER CRU 2003.
(J. M. BROCARD) 23.00

Full-flavoured quality white Burgundy; very good domaine.

CLOUDY BAY SAUVIGNON 2005. 26.00
CLOUDY BAY CHARDONNAY 2004. 26.00
CLOUDY BAY TE KOKO SAUVIGNON
BLANC 2003. 36.00

World-famous New Zealand wines; on strict allocation, especially the oak-aged Te Koko (big and minerally); so check we have some. The assertive sauvignon is simply the best. Chardonnay from Cloudy Bay is different in a tropical fruit way.
