House Wines - Miller Howe
Welcome to the Miller Howe Wine List. Wine is a great passion of mine and I believe the right wine wholly enhances a good meal. You can often feel intimidated when handed a wine list the size of the Old Testament. Our list is comprehensive and each wine is individually handpicked. Of course I or one of the team are always happy to advise. Working with our suppliers we taste everything before we buy (hic!) and I believe the list is interesting and eclectic as well as featuring old school classics.

Alsace was one of the earliest wine regions in France to focus solely on quality over quantity. It also pioneered the use and promotion of single grape varietals, predominantly white and led by the majestic Riesling with a supporting cast which includes Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and Gewurztraminer.

With its marginal, northerly climate the Loire is home to some of the worlds most elegant and racy white wines though it does produce underrated sparkling, red and rose wine. It has over 87 wine producing areas, the most famous of which probably being Sancerre and Pouilly Fume which are the spiritual homes of Sauvignon Blanc. There are many other delights such as Savennieres, Muscadet, Sweet Coteaux du Layon and some delicious underrated reds.

The Rhone is divided into 2 sub regions with distinct vinicultural traditions, the Northern and Southern Rhone. The Northern sub region produces red wines from the Syrah grape, sometimes blended with white wine grapes. The white wins produced in the North are made from Marsanne, Rousanne and Viognier The South produces an array of red, white and rose wines often blends of several grapes such as in Chateauneuf du Pape.

The spiritual home of the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes. Few regions can compare to Burgundy for producing dry white and red wines of world class, side by side. Whether you enjoy the steely, low oak emphasis of Chablis or the weight and texture of a Cote de Beaune we have a broad and very fine selection of white Burgundy. Equally the reds encapsulate all the hedonistic, yet refined and diverse elegance of Pinot Noir.

There are over 40,000 estates yet its only the top 2% which carry the imagery and kudos of the region. We have worked hard to present you with a selection of classic but affordable wines that combine the best of their individual regions with many from top vintages at their peak for drinking.

This bizarrely shaped country stretches from parallel with Burgundy in the North to touching North Africa in the South. Between these points there are almost 400 defined wine regions and well over 100 grape varieties to play with. Spectacularly diverse reds are rightly regarded as universal partners to most savoury and fuller bodied dishes. The white wines of Italy have come on in leaps and bounds in the last 20 years and are now at the forefront of refreshing drinking allied to new partners for entree and lighter courses.

The range is diverse and ever changing. From crisp, tantalisingly fruity, lighter bodied and seafood friendly whites to mighty hedonistic reds. The reds of Spain are made for matching with bold food flavours. Rioja reigns supreme, though we have some exiting alternatives to try.

WHITE 195 SEPP MOSER GRUNER VELTLINER, ROHRENDORF 2013, ORGANIC £24.00 Page 18 Aussie Cult branding and blending We love the new breed Aussie modern approach to winemaking. Combining clever blending which often defies convention, with great labelling, funky names and above all Big Attitude. SOME YOUNG PUNKS Being media savvy and having a sense of humour allows this ironically quiet spoken but earnest bunch to market themselves outrageously and bring a fresh approach to labelling. Col McBryde is not your conventional image of a man with a PHD. His shaved head and full body tattoos are a long way from the conventional lab geek. But when you realise that Some Young Punks is all about a punk attitude to winemaking it all starts to make sense. Along with partner Jen Gardner and her family, add master blender Nik Bourke and creative pop art packaging and you have Some Young Punks. Seriously good booze with seriously big attitude. Blends like Sangiovese and Shiraz, Nebblio and Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Mataro are typical. The wines are big, brash and very moreish with whacky names and fantastic labels printed in glorious PUNKNICOLOUR. My favourite is "Passion has red lips." ALPHA BOX AND DICE Alpha box and dice, the alphabet of wines, where all your dreams come true... Winemaker Justin Lane is a bit of a legend amongst "garage" winemakers for his passionately crafted wines and loveable rogue vintner ways. Based in the heart of the McLaren Vale, Justin is sourcing fruit from some of the oldest and best vineyards and crafting most interesting and unusual blends. Mix that with some extremely creative packaging and you have got Alpha, Box and Dice. Indulge in the intriguing "Golden Mullet Fury", a fascinating blend of Chardonnay and Muscadelle that surprisingly works. Or partake in the alluring "Enigma" pairing Barbera with Cabernet which is a delight of earthy smoky raspberry. These and many others are available. Do try something different. Page 19 Australia The modern Australian wine industry only really emerged in the 1970's, and today is the 4th largest exporter of wine with over 60 designated wine producing regions and 2000 producers. The vast majority of these are in the South East corner, although fine wines are also made around Perth. Plantings are dominated by Shiraz aka Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. As ever it's as much about the producer as the area.

Back in the seventies the world was captivated by the vibrant and mouth watering flavours they discovered in the new style Sauvignon Blancs from the Marlborough region. Now these wines are recognised as one of the world's classic styles. Top Sauvignons are now more sophisticated than ever, whilst their Pinot Noirs in particular, have attained world class stature.

South Africa has the oldest winemaking tradition and heritage of any New World country, with the first known vintage being produced in 1659. Whilst the coolest region is Constantia, the largest and most famous is Stellenbosch, and with over 50 soil types a complex range of both red and white wines are produced including Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, red Bordeaux blends, as well as South Africa's ubiquitous white grape Chenin Blanc. I should also mention its own home grown red grape Pinotage, a true love it or hate it variety. South Africans claim they are a halfway house between the old and new world in terms of style and structure.

Its in the main central belt where all the great wine areas are found. 75% of wine produced is red, dominated by Bordeaux varieties Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Sauvignon Blanc is the most common white produced. Argentina has a relatively modern wine history and its only in the last 25 years it has really established a presence. It is probably the robust red Malbec they are best known for, but they also produce some great crisp and fruity whites.
