The Wine List 2015
We have enjoyed building this wine list up over the last 16 years, we continue to evolve the content and are
delighted to have won a few more awards this year even one for our German Riesling campaign. Having
visited South Africa twice last year we are now building up one of the finest collections of premium South
African wines outside the Cape. Australia and New Zealand continue to be very special to us, but you will
also find some great Old World wines from Alsace, Rhone, Spain and of course one of the best collections of
aged Champagnes in this list.
Roger is the Wine Consultant for The Caterer Magazine, contributes to Decanter, Harpers and Glass of
Bubbly Magazines. His articles and travel blogs can be seen on his website,
www.rogerjonesconsultancy.com.
If this wine list is too big for you please note that every dish that we serve is offered with a matched wine.
Getting the best from our Award Winning Wine List
Together with Riedel and Le Verre de Vin preservation system we offer exceptional and rare wines by the
glass. We were the first in the UK to offer Penfolds Grange and Vintage Krug by the glass, and will
continue to offer further exceptional and rare wines throughout the year for your enjoyment.
Australia Rules!
Whilst the Supermarkets continue to swamp their shelves with mass produced New World Wines, we take
pride in having amassed one of the finest Australian Wine Lists in the World, with back vintages which are
the envy of many an Australian Wine Maker. Remember ABC means; Absolutely Brilliant Chardonnay.
New Zealand offers some of the finest Pinot Noir’s, Syrah and Chardonnay in the world. It’s not just about
Sauvignon Blanc, also do remember quality Sauvignon Blanc really is elegant and pure. Roger is visiting
New Zealand in November as guest of The New Zealand Winegrowers.
Having visited South Africa in April and back there again in January we are now building up one of the
finest lists of South African wine outside the Cape. Premium quality with finesse, these guys have come
along way in the last decade, lots of young vibrant winemakers.
Riedel Glassware
Numerous consumer and trade tests have been carried out to prove that Riedel makes a huge difference in
the enjoyment of wine. We offer up to 18 different glass styles here at The Harrow each to complement
various grape varieties. Georg Riedel even uses The Harrow as his UK base to promote his glassware.
Roger sits on The Decanter World Wines Awards Judging Panel representing Australia, and is a regular
contributor to the monthly Tasting panel in the magazine. He also has a fortnightly feature in the trade
magazine The Caterer. All these articles can be read free of charge on his website.

Coravin was founded in 2011 by Greg Lambrecht, an MIT graduate.The system uses a medical needle and a capsule of Argon gas
to pour a bottle of wine through the cork. The cork is never removed. This helps prevent oxidation, increasing the longevity of the
wine. It accomplishes this by inserting a hollow needle through the cork. When it launched in July of 2013, the Coravin was
described by some as “transformational,” and a “game changer” due to the potential to change wine consumption habits.

English & Welsh Sparkling Wines
In recent years we have seen sparkling wines from the U.K leading the way internationally, competing on
the world stage and often delivering a better product than many Champagnes. They are made in the same
traditional method as champagne and in most cases are ‘Vintage’, therefore you are getting a far superior
product to the normal non vintage champagne.
With climate changes it is estimated that Southern England will have the perfect temperature for
‘Champagne’ style wines very shortly. There are a growing number of new vineyards being developed led
by the pioneers, Nyetimber, who in the last two decades have shown the wine world how good a product
British sparkling wine is.
We will be offering an exciting range of these wines over the next 6 months by the glass to help you
understand both the quality and the passion we now have for sparkling wine in the U.K.

was 19 he entered the Benedictine order, first serving at the Abbey of Saint-Vannes in the town of Verdun. In 1668, he transferred
to the Abbey of Hautvillers near the town of Epernay. He served as cellar master of the Abbey until his death in 1715. Under his
stewardship, the Abbey flourished and doubled the size of its vineyard holding.

LOUIS ROEDERER
A key event in the success of Roederer was breaking the Russian market, as achieved by the elder Louis Roederer. As a result the
blue-blooded Russians found themselves partial to the odd glass of Roederer Champagne, so much so that Tsar Alexander II
requested that a special cuvée be created; one fitting to grace the table of a royal family. And so Louis Roederer II produced
Cristal, regarded by many as the first prestige cuvee

WORLD CLASS CHARDONNAY from Australia
There may still be a few of you who are not converted back to the clean seductive, elegant and pure class of Australian
Chardonnay! Don’t be embarrassed many of the press have failed to realise that! Over the last 10 years there has been a
transformation with Chardonnay in Australia, especially at the top end. These wines now regularly outclass top Burgundies from
France, at a fraction of the cost. Rated by Decanter Magazine as World Class ….I should know as I sit on their Tasting Panel
A young English doctor who migrated to one of his country’s most distant colonies over a century and a half ago
founded Penfolds. Dr Christopher Rawson Penfold was born in 1811, the youngest of 11 children. He studied
medicine at St Bartholomew's Hospital, London, graduating in 1838. In 1844 Dr Penfold and his wife Mary
purchased the Mackgill estate (now called Magill) , “comprising 500 acres of the choicest land.” By all accounts it
was Mary Penfold who was responsible for the management and early winemaking responsibilities of the fledgling
wine estate. Initially the wines - made from Grenache – were prescribed as tonic wines for anemic patients and the
famous Penfolds slogan ‘1844 to evermore’ harks back to its origins as a prescribed tonic.
Penfolds Reserve Bin 08 A Chardonnay

Penfolds Reserve Bin 12 A Chardonnay
2012

The 2012 is possible one of the best Chardonnays ever from Australia, and wait for it folks….it is only 12.5% ABV. Sourced from
numerous parcels spread over Adelaide Hills. This sexy little number has the oak balance to perfection with rounded curves,
crunchy flavours, good minerality and fresh acidity. Up there with the finest from Burgundy.
Tasmania & Adelaide Hills
Penfolds Yatarna Chardonnay
2011
£150.00
95% Tasmania & 5% Adelaide Hills. This is Penfolds white Grange. Made to age, so this will need decanting or come back in a

freshen the palate

Giaconda, Chardonnay
2008

Sourced from a 4-hectare plot, the grapes for this exquisite Chardonnay are barrel-fermented, with full
malolactic, and are then left in barrel, 33% new, on their lees for 2 years before bottling with no filtration.
The style is quite Burgundian but the wine’s Australian origins shine through in the form of an exotic bouquet
of pineapple and peach alongside the nutty notes associated with this varietal. It is probably one of the very
finest examples of Chardonnay produced in Australia, will reach a plateau of maturity in 2012 and remain
there for 5-10 more years at least. Retails at around £120.00 a bottle.

FELTON ROAD RIESLING, NEW ZEALAND
‘With Felton Road offered in over 500 top restaurants around the world (over 40 countries at last count), it
can be hard to keep up with them all, but there are a small group that we count as "friends of the winery".
These tend to be people who come to visit us, like to drink the sort of bottles that excite us, stay in touch with
the things we are doing and, of course, people who cook the sort of food that we love to eat. The Harrow at
Little Bedwyn is most definitely in that gang. Has been for a long time and will be for many years to come.
Just a shame Roger and Sue won't open up a branch in Bannockburn! ‘

Pale in colour. Very bright aromatic nose with some complex citrus notes. Lovely intense crisp, fresh palate finishes

into a multi layered gem.

Estate-grown in The Elms Vineyard, on a ‘steeper slope’ which yields ‘riper fruit’ without noble rot, this wine
is made in a style ‘similar to a late-harvest, Mosel Spätlese’. Very rich, with intense, citrusy, peachy flavours
and a racy, very long finish, lovely poise and vivacity. Already hard to resist, these wines are for long term cellaring.
Felton Road Vin Gris
2008
£48.00
A summer bouquet of strawberries and cream and even cherry pie. The flavours, suggestive of its Pinot Noir origin,
are encased in a charming and generous mouth feel. A very pale salmon colour... a uniquely different: frivolous,
but not trivial wine!

Behind the Label
The Bannockburn Chardonnay, forging ahead in quality, is grown at three sites at Bannockburn and matured in French oak
barriques (with limited new oak; 12 per cent in 2010). The 2010 vintage is richly scented, with very citrusy aromas and flavours.
An intense, elegant, cool-climate style, slightly apply and spicy, with finely integrated oak, it is tight, harmonious, slightly mineral
and long. Drink now or cellar.
The Block 2 Chardonnay is an outstanding wine and grown in a ‘special part of the Elms Vineyard in front of the winery’, which
has the oldest vines. In a vertical tasting of the 2007–2011 vintages, held in September 2012, the older wines were still drinking
superbly – the 2007 is terrific now, with a real sense of drive and depth. The 2010 is a star vintage, notably fragrant and rich.
The 2011 vintage is a very elegant, Chablis-like wine with rich, citrusy, complex flavours, a subtle seasoning of oak
and a very long finish.

AUSTRALIA SHIRAZ & RHONE VARIETALS
Here we have collected without question one of the finest range of Shiraz from Australia; many are in prime
condition with plenty of age giving a seductive, luscious velvety wine that would grace any table. Some may
have high alcohol, but two points to remember before you skip over these pages, firstly if a wine is balanced
and age, the alcohol level is not as obvious and secondly the Australians have to state the correct alcohol
level on the bottle where as the French pick a level and publish the same every year.

FELTON ROAD, CENTRAL OTAGO, NEW ZEALAND – PINOT NOIR
‘With Felton Road offered in over 500 top restaurants around the world (over 40 countries at last count),
it can be hard to keep up with them all, but there are a small group that we count as "friends of the
winery. These tend to be people who come to visit us, like to drink the sort of bottles that excite us, stay in
touch with the things we are doing and, of course, people who cook the sort of food that we love to eat.
The Harrow at Little Bedwyn is most definitely in that gang. Has been for a long time and will be for
many years to come. Just a shame Roger and Sue won't open up a branch in Bannockburn!’
Nigel Greening, Felton Road Wines
Behind the Label
Felton Road Bannockburn Pinot Noir
The Bannockburn winery’s ‘standard’ Pinot Noir is a distinguished wine in its own right, blended from its three vineyards at
Bannockburn – The Elms, Cornish Point and Calvert. Matured for 11 months in French oak casks (30 per cent new), it is bottled
without fining or filtering. Instantly attractive.
Felton Road Cornish Point Pinot Noir
From the company-owned Cornish Point Vineyard at the eastern end of Bannockburn, 6 kilometres from the winery, this is always
one of my favourite Felton Road reds. Matured in French oak barriques (about 30 per cent new), a sturdy and deeply coloured,
powerful and highly concentrated, with deep plum, spice and nut flavours, lively and long. It should flourish with cellaring.
Felton Road Calvert Pinot Noir
Grown in the Calvert Vineyard at Bannockburn – which neighbours and is managed by Felton Road – and matured in French oak
barriques (about 30 per cent new), is a very savoury and complex wine, deep and youthful in colour. Full-bodied, it is ripe and
silky-textured, with rich, vibrant cherry, plum, spice, dried-herb and nut flavours and a long finish. It's delicious in its youth but
evolves too.
Felton Road Block 3 Pinot Noir
Grown at Bannockburn, on a north-facing slope 270 metres above sea level, this is a majestic Central Otago wine, among the
finest Pinot Noirs in the country. The mature vines are cultivated just in front of the winery, in a section of the vineyard where the
clay content is relatively high, giving ‘dried herbs and ripe fruit characters’. The wine is matured for about a year in Burgundy oak
barrels (about 30 per cent new), and bottled without fining or filtration.
Felton Road Block 5 Pinot Noir
This is winemaker Blair Walter’s favourite Felton Road red. Grown in a ‘special’ block of The Elms Vineyard at Bannockburn in
Central Otago, it matures for a year in French oak barriques (30 per cent new), and is then held for several more months in
seasoned oak casks. In a vertical tasting of the 2007– 2011 vintages, held in September 2012, the 2010 vintage was the standout –
exceptionally concentrated, yet deliciously poised and silky-textured. The 2011 is a 'masculine' style, powerful and firm, sweetfruited and savoury, with deep cherry, plum and spice flavours, tight and youthful. It should flourish for a decade.

The Wines of R. Lopez de Heredia - The Supreme Rioja
Red Reserva and Rosado
Vina Tondonia Rosado, Gran Reserva
1993
1991 Half
£150.00
£75.00 (37.5cl)
Full, dark-coloured Rosé with developed oak and rich dry sherry flavours. Develops to many stages as it opens
up in the glass. The only aged Rosé in the world. Superb as an aperitif or with seafood and spicy dishes.
Vina Bosconia, Reserva
1996
£98.00
I found these hidden away and am delighted to put them on the list. One of the best vintages in Spain, clean fresh
pure fruit to start with, hints of dried strawberry as it opens up. Some meaty & bloody notes coming through.
Think aged top Burgundy such as Dujac!
Red Gran Reserva
These wines are the result of careful selection of grapes from the very best vintages. Each vintage of Gran
Reserva has spent a minimum of six years in Bordeaux Oak barrels, before staying in the depth of their
cellars in bottle until requested, but for a minimum of a further 7 years. The grapes are a mixture of
Tempranillo, Garnacho, Mazuelo and Graciano producing the”Supreme Rioja”.

1961
£1,250.00
Slightly darker than the 1964 and certainly drinking at its prime now, strawberry/cassis nose, rich flavours,

hints of cassis, nutty, voluptuous. It’s incredible that they continue to show so well.
Vina Bosconia Gran Reserva Tinto
1942
£3,000.00
Deep brick red colour. Huge nose, rotten vines/farmyard, leather powerful fruity wine which is stunning.
Toasty background, rich fruits, still full of character. 16 of our lucky customers drank this wine over lunch
with Maria Jose in her cellars some 8 years ago..
1934
POA
A very rare wine, yet to try. High neck, good colour and reported to be in perfect condition
1920
POA
These are some of the very last bottles available and are in superb condition, low neck, clear colour and clean labels.
The taste; in a recent tasting with Maria Jose at The Harrow she concluded that the 1920 was drinking perfectly,

real vintage date and not to the solera constitution year. Nuts and wood with light vanilla aromas rising to the surface. Maple
syrup and burnt sugar flavours with cocoa and coffee but with a balance of acidity that is rare in PXs.
