Sauvignon Blanc by the bottle
     
Sauvignon Blanc Buitenverwachting, Constantia, 2008, S.A. 750ml £19.95
New world meet old world: a Loire-like steeliness with intense lime and nettle fruit. Fresh and well balanced.
Tourraine Sauvignon Blanc, Bougrier, 2008, France 750ml

A soft palate of sauvignon aromatics. Pleasant rather than steely and measured rather than exuberant.

Fresh and floral with gooseberry fruit. New Zealand has built its reputation on quality and consistency at prices difficult to match.
 
Sancerre, Christian Salmon, 2008, France 750ml £36.95
A crisp, elegant and mineral wine with elderberry and grapefruit flavours from a small, well-known family domaine.    
 
Cloudy Bay, Marlborough, 2007, New Zealand 750ml £39.95
Rich and succulent with zesty citrus and a long, characteristically crisp finish. Still the benchmark for NZ sauvignon blanc.

A dry, un-oaked, fine fruit and citrus flavoured easy drinking light vino.                    
750ml £11.95
Banksdale Chardonnay, Brown Brothers, 2007, Australia 750ml £23.95
A very flavoursome chardonnay balanced by a subtle use of oak. Melon, pear and ripe white peach dominate the palate. 
 
Bourgogne "les Setilles", Olivier Leflaive, 2007, France 750ml £25.95
The fruit comes from Puligny and Meursault and is partly barrel-fermented. From one of the oldest estate-bottlers in burgundy
Chablis, Vieilles Vignes, la Chablisienne, 2004, France 750ml £35.95
Something of a rarity: not an overpriced young chablis nor an immature 1er cru. A wine which tastes as its maker intended
     
Meursault, Thierry & Pascale Matrot, 2002, France 750ml £49.95
This rich and concentrated wine emphasizes chardonnay's elegant fruit character. From a well respected producer.
 
 
Other white grapes by the bottle
Blanc de blancs, Dulac, Cotes de Gascogne, 2007, France 750ml £13.95

Pinot Grigio, Terre del Noce, IGT, 2008, Italy 750ml £17.95
Very clean with a gentle floral aroma and a refreshing finish, it is a very pleasing and easy drinking wine.
 
Muscadet de Sevre et Maine, La Sablette, 2008, France 750ml £19.95
Highly recommended! A very pleasant wine with a soft and fruity palate. Lovely on its own, it also works wonder with shellfish.
Old vines Chenin Blanc, Stellenbosch, 2007, South Africa 750ml £23.95
This serious food wine has been consistently rated as one of the best unoaked chenin blanc of SA. A most elegant wine.

Eden Valley is one of the two best-suited Australian terroirs for riesling, producing wines with intense lemon and lime characters.

A personal favourite from all the lesser-known grape varieties. Honeyed citrus and honeysuckle flavours balanced by crisp acidity.
Rias baixas , Casal Caeiro, 2007, Spain 750ml

From Galicia, the traditional (and most widely drunk) accompaniment of shellfish  in Spain. This is a very clean, light and aromatic wine.
