Introduction Danesfield House Hotel and Spa Wine Programme

At Danesfield House Hotel and Spa we have created a comprehensive wine list of almost 200 wines encapsulating a

diverse range of countries and grape varieties. This year our list has changed according to the wine world and our guests’

expectations. We believe it is important to offer new rising star wines in addition to the more traditional wines.

With our selection of wines we aim to offer our guests something different and unique to taste.

The format of the wine list is laid out with wines listed by country. We of course cover the classic regions such as

Bordeaux, Champagne, Burgundy, Tuscany and Rioja from the old world plus a wide selection of new world. 2017 sees

us exploring interesting and indigenous varieties such as Malagusia from Greece, Kalacik Karasi from Turkey, Ribolla

Gialla from Italy, Albariño from Spain, Grüner Veltliner from Austria, Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara and Carmenère

from Chile.

We are very happy to recommend matching wines according to our menus produced by our chef Billy Reid with his style

of cooking.

THE HISTORY OF DANESFIELD HOUSE

Danesfield House, as it stands today, is the third property to have been built within this glorious setting, amidst 65 acres of formal gardens with outstanding views over the River Thames and to the Chiltern Hills beyond. 4,000 years ago, the site was reputed to have been a resting place of nomadic tribes who paused to hunt nearby land and fish in the then untamed river. If you stand on the crest of the bank between the present house and the river and look west, there is a steep ravine directly in front of you which is the remnant of the ramparts of a pre-historic fortification. Because of the ample game and the discovery of flint within the chalk-based cliffs, the site became a settlement throughout the ages and although not named "Danesfield" until many years later, this name originated from the fact that Danish adventurers made an encampment here. In 1725 James Medlycott, or his executors, rented "Medlycotts" to a Mrs Morton, whose son John was to be the creator of Danesfield. He purchased the freehold of the estate in 1750, had the house completely rebuilt and named it Danesfield. John Morton was a barrister and was appointed Attorney-General to Queen Charlotte. He was a contemporary in parliament of William Pitt, as MP for Abingdon, New Romney and Wigan. After his death, his widow continued to live at Danesfield for some years, but eventually sold the estate in 1787 because of financial difficulties. The house was let to successive tenants, who came principally for shooting and was eventually sold in 1897 to Mr Robert William Hudson. He had inherited his fortune from his father Robert Spear Hudson, the Victorian soap magnate and the manufactures of "Sunlight" soap. His first determination was to rebuild the property, which he completed in 1901. As war proceeded Danesfield was requisitioned as a base to develop the intelligence Section of the Royal Air Force (Reconnaissance and Photography Section). Danesfield was purchased by the Air Ministry in 1948 and was made Divisional Head Quarters for No. 90 Group (Signals). The property remained in the hands of the RAF until 1977. The gardens, a mixture of herbaceous and shrub plants ensures interest throughout the year. The large areas of Lavender that can be seen consist of two main varieties; "Vera" surrounded by "Twickle Purple" with five other varieties of English and French origin. The Topiary and the Box Hedging is original and has been restored and maintained by careful, skilled trimming. With the exception of a few original shrubs (Wisteria and Choisya), the majority of the present planting was carried out during 1990. Danesfield House Hotel opened on the 1st July 1991 as a luxury Country House Hotel with a charm and character that cannot be compared. It is a property with a most unusual history and when walking around the grounds it is easy to imagine the strange events that must have taken place over the centuries.

Water 75cl

Belu Still £6.00

Belu Sparkling £6.00

The Source of Belu comes from a pristine spring in the hills of Shropshire. The beauty of Belu is that every bottle sold supports water projects

throughout the world, from helping to clean the River Thames to installing water wells and pumps to a whole village such as Tamil Nadu in

India. A single bottle of Belu will provide clean water to one person for one month.

Blenheim Still £6.00

Blenheim Sparkling £6.00

The story of Blenheim Palace Natural Mineral Water begins in the 12th Century, when Henry II built a pleasure pool for his mistress,

Rosamund Clifford. The pool was fed by an ancient spring, which, according to legend, has never dried up...

Hildon Still £6.00

Hildon Sparkling £6.00

Hildon Natural Mineral Water comes from beneath the chalk hills of the beautiful Hampshire countryside in the South of England. The water

is wholesome, naturally filtered and crystal-clear. In a relatively short space of time, has become a byword for style in the restaurant and

hotel world, with many exclusive establishments serving nothing else.

Acqua Panna Still £6.50

Perfectly balanced, light and luminous with a tonic note, Acqua Panna has the rare ability to enhance even the most delicate flavours. A

fascinating nature that mirrors the earth of Tuscany from which it flows. Acqua Panna encompasses the very essence of Tuscan lifestyle,

heritage and fine elegance, an extraordinary water rooted in the heart of the Italian culinary, artistic and historical tradition.

San Pellegrino Sparkling £6.50

The town of San Pellegrino in the mountains north of Milan was first made famous by quenching the thirst of Leonardo da Vinci.

S.Pellegrino's sources are three deep springs which emerge at 69.8 degrees F. The waters come from an aquifer 1,300 feet below the surface,

where limestone and volcanic rocks impart unique minerals and trace elements

Tau Still £10.00

Tau Sparkling £10.00

Tau is bottled at source in the Welsh Cambrian Mountains, an area of mudstone, siltstone and sandstone that is protected and organically

managed. Tau still is light and very low in minerals, whilst its sparkling counterpart has very loud bubbles and should be paired with a food

with a substantial mouthfeel.

Voss Still £12.00

Voss Sparkling £12.00

VOSS Artesian Water from Norway comes from an aquifer in the pristine natural environment of Southern Norway, producing pure water like no other. This water is collected from an underground aquifer deep beneath the surface under layers of sand and gravel. Because the water is naturally filtered, it is free of contact with the air and other pollutants.

Crémant du Jura, Benoît Mulin NV

This wine is aged in oak casks and allowed to ferment slowly in one of the oldest cellars in Arbois, built in the

of citrus flowers on the nose, carried through to the palate with a soft texture, good body and a refreshing finish.

grained tannins and mineral notes result in quite a fresh, long finish. Recommend to truly see the flavours

come alive.

Malbec Chakana, Mendoza, Argentina

This Malbec has a deep purple colour with violet tints, complex plum, fig, strawberry, spices and floral aromas;

rounded and velvety tannins, excellent length with a distinguished character.

Journey’s End, The Griffin, Syrah, Stellenbosch, South Africa

A youthful but complex concentrated fruit wine. Layers of different red and black berries with hints of smoky

spice, and dark-toned fruit. As a result of the excellent vintage and careful maturation, it is succulent, silky

smooth with polished tannins.

Tenuta Moscato D’Asti DOCG, Piedmont, Italy

Pale yellow colour with greenish reflections with fine and persistent bubbles. The nose is broad and net, filled

with aromatic notes of sage, peach and exotic fruits. The taste is sweet, full and harmonious with a pleasantly

aromatic finish. Lovely as an aperitif, Light desserts and pate/parfait

Champagne Pommery is a French Champagne house located in Reims. The house was founded as Pommery & Greno in 1858 by

Alexandre Louis Pommery and Narcisse Greno. Under the guidance of Alexandre's widow, Louise Pommery, the firm was dedicated

to Champagne production and soon became one of the region's largest Champagne brands.

Pommery, Brut Royale NV £76.00

Elegant, vibrant. Initial notes of berries. The wine is round, ample, and delicate, with a nice finish. Clear end notes without

any dryness. This wine is harmonious and never grows tiresome to the palate.

Pommery Blanc de Noirs Wintertime NV £85.00 0

Pommery Wintertime Blanc de Noirs Champagne NV is a robust and powerful ‘Blanc de Noirs’ (a white wine made from

black grapes) blended especially for the winter months. A direct and lively nose of red apples precedes late of ripe quince

and red fruits. A very seductive Champagne with round and rich qualities.

Pommery, Brut Rose NV £90.00

Its bouquet of small berries gives the impression of roundness and softness brightened up by fine freshness and distinction. A

subtle rosé nature, with a supple, finely full palate appreciated for its freshness and vivacity.

Pommery, Blanc de Blancs, Summertime NV £105.00

Blanc de Blancs made from a blend of ten selected 100% Chardonnay crus, from different areas within the Champagne

region. This original blend results in a wine of optimum maturity. It is tender and fruity on the palate, with long aromatic

persistence, accented by a vibrant freshness.

Pommery, Rose, Springtime NV £105.00

This wine is full of life, with notes of berries, red currants, fresh pomegranate, and kiwifruit. Made from a blend of white

wines and one red wine, resulting in a fruit-forward rosé that is not too tannic or too powerful. This character is confirmed

by a tart, fruity freshness that suggests pure, delicate indulgence.

12

Pommery, Apanage Rose NV £135.00

Bold, elegant Rosé Apanage has aromas of small red berries (red currant, raspberry, wild strawberry) and Granny Smith

apple. Rich and nicely balanced. It contains flavours of all the aromas found in the bouquet. It is ample and harmonious, all

that one would expect from rosé Champagne. It is easy to taste, with a lingering smoothness worth noting, and an

unforgettable finish full of freshness.

Pommery, Cuvée Louise, Brut, Millesime 2002 £275.00

The 2002 has an exceptionally soft and luxurious mousse. The aroma is typical of Louise Pommery with notes of vanilla,

freshly baked bread and orange. Bright young colour, incredibly beautiful mousse, creamy texture and elegant

sophisticated fruit. An incredibly soft and easy to drink champagne.

Pommery Champagne POP Bottles 20 cl

Pommery POP Brut NV £22.00

Behind its energy and lust for life, the wine’s bouquet reveals freshness and delicacy. It is accessible, an indicator of sheer

pleasure. This wine has all the attributes of a quaffable, contemporary champagne: it is fresh, round, and full. It is a wine

for immediate pleasure and fine celebration.

Carpenè Malvolti 1868 Brut Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore

A real benchmark of quality and consistency, Carpenè Malvolti Prosecco is a full flavoured wine made in the

North-East Italy. This lovely Prosecco has impressive palate weight and creaminess, fine and continuous bubbles.

The wine is fruity and appealing with floral and fresh fruit bouquet and a lemony finish.

Carpenè Malvolti 1868 Rosé Cuvee Brut NV Italy

Yum yum yum. This delicious fizz has everything that's great about Prosecco combined with everything that's great

about a Provence Rose. It has depth, whilst retaining freshness and that fabulous palate cleansing sensation that

good fizz delivers. The spectrum of flavours is really broad, with redcurrants, rosehips, parma violets and just a

touch of slightly creamy, sweet cherries. The finish is fairly long, but again, really fresh with none of the edges

sometimes found in cheaper sparkling wines.

218 Chateau Vignol Famille Doublet Entre-Deux-Mers 2014 £48.00

Chablis Grand Crus Les Clos, Domaine Pinson

Here the wood is less subtle as there are vanilla and toast hints in evidence on the otherwise very fresh and cool

aromas of white flowers, pear, green apple and wet stone. There is notably good concentration and plenty of

palate coating dry extract to the big-bodied flavours that exude a fine minerality on the saline-infused, explosive

and seriously persistent finish.

finished off with a delicate smoky minerality. This is one of those memorable wines that will leave you wanting more.

Chardonnay Vieilles Vignes, Benoit Mulin, Cellier des Tiercelines

A complex nose with stone fruit, smoky undertones and a nutty character. The palate is also rich but with excellent

tension and packed with minerals, spices, and a touch of toast. 100% Chardonnay

280 Royal Tokaji Furmint Dry, Tokaji 2012 £48.00

Trossos Tros Blanc, Alfredo Arribas, Montsant Portal Del Priorat

"Tros Blanc 2013 is a hugely complex wine. Made from 100% Garnacha Blanca grapes grown in a single vineyard,

this is a wine with great potential, as it will only get better with some cellar ageing. Beautiful, distinctive aromas of

green apple and citrus are in perfect harmony with the lovely oak hints of vanilla and cream. It has developed a nice,

smooth mouthfeel after spending 10 months in new oak barrels. Hints of roasted nuts and coffee make the finish

amazingly memorable. Voted the best white wine in Cataluña and 2nd best white in Spain "

Grüner Veltliner, Rosensteig, Weingut Geyerhof, Kremstal

An Austrian staple; this is an unmissable Gruner Veltliner from Geyerhof. Lush fruity aromas of green apples,

waxed lemons, juicy grapefruit and gently white pepper hints. Weingut Geyerhof owners, Josef and Ilse Maier

grow their grapes organically and all their wines are vegan and contain low-histamine levels. Delicious

herbaceous and mineral notes in the finish.

Sauvignon Blanc, Sevilen, Izmir

In İzmir (150 metres of elevation) climate conditions are close to those of Bari or Athens. In the Anatolian plateau

(900 metres of elevation), climate conditions are similar to the Rhône valley (Hermitage, Chateauneuf du Pape)

but drier during the summer. On both sites, soils are unique with a complex distribution, alternation of chalk and

shale (heavy clay) and occurrence of limestone.

Sauvignon Blanc, Mount Beautiful, North Canterbury

This Sauvignon Blanc pushes the boundaries of the typical New Zealand flavour profile. By highlighting floral

aromatics and tropical flavours, toning down the grassiness and bringing a creamy mid-palate all the way

through to fresh cantaloupe melon like crispness on the finish, Mt Beautiful have set a new precedent for New

Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.

A tight, minerally wine with classic Hamilton Russell Vineyards length and complexity. Unusually prominent pear

and lime fruit aromas and flavours are brought beautifully into focus by a tight line of bright natural acid and a

long, dry minerality. An elegant, yet textured and intense wine with a strong personality of both place and vintage

Chardonnay, Joseph Chromy, Tasmania

Ripe white peach and tropical lime with subtle toasty hazelnut characters. The palate is rich, textural and layered

with a long juicy mineral acidity.

Chateau La Gordonne, La Chapelle Gordonne, Cotes de Provence

Lychee-pink colour, very pale and limpid. Intense and very fine nose. Complex aromas of small fresh red fruits (blackberry, raspberry) and floral notes of white flowers and of violets. Palate of great finesse, both fresh and complex with apricot, grapefruits and strawberry aromas. In the mouth, an ample and powerful wine with a nice and very delicate length. La Chapelle Gordonne Rosé is the perfect accompaniment to rich sea food such as Bellevue lobster where the finesse and fat in the crustacean marry perfectly with the wine.

The Clos Jus is a class act, intense and spicy with great length and a nice mineral finish.

Concentrated black fruit with herbal notes and good minerality. Very pure and with good weight to balance the

bright acidity. This is very fresh and bright wine with good length. Very drinkable.

Chateauneuf du Pape ‘Les Safres’, Domaine Clos du Caillou

This wine presents a deep red colour with blood reflection. The nose is dominated by aromas of zan in the violet,

associated to the Pyrenees black cheery jam. The mouth is unctuous, elegant, on liqueur perfume of strawberry

and raspberry, accompanied by some notes of soft spices (Colombo) and orange zest. This wine possesses a

beautiful aromatic length.

Domaine de Cigalus Rouge, Gérard Bertrand, IGP Pays d'Oc

Intense and complex with a very aromatic nose of ripe black fruit, jam, spice, liquorice and truffle. The palate is

lush, and full of rich, black fruits, with a touch of mint and backed by velvety tannins, leading to a long, perfectly

balanced finish. Biodynamically grown Cabernet Sauvignon 40%, Merlot 20%, Carignan 5%, Grenache 5%.

La Forge, Gérard Bertrand, AOP Corbières Boutenac

Deep matured cherry colour, an explosive nose opens onto grilled toast spices and clove. With a sugar rush, the

palate reveals powerful land elegant aromas, reminiscent of cooked red fruits. This is an exceptional wine with

soft tannins and a spicy aftertaste. Carignan 50%, Syrah 50%.

Somni Priorat, Alfredo Arribas, Clos Del Portal

"The Somni Priorat is made from Carignan, Syrah, ...organically grown grapes on Licorella slate. Packed with

colour - intense violet and bluish tones - and is as expected a very dense and concentrated full-bodied red. There

is a bouquet of wild plums and blackberries; some cassis and an overall freshness that keeps you wanting more.

A touch of oak and spice lingers in the background. The palate is velvety and the oak is well integrated with the

abundant fruit. Silky mature tannins contribute to the long decadent finish. A tasty drop indeed; one to be

remembered"

Shiraz, Groot Constantia 2013

A powerful yet elegant Shiraz with flavours of black currant, plums and raspberries combined with white pepper,

Pinot Noir, Melville Family Vineyards, Santa Barbara County 2013

One of the best values in Pinot Noir out there is Melville's 2013 Pinot Noir Estate and it over-delivers in just about

every vintage. Firing on all cylinders on this occasion, with complex red fruits, rose petal and sous bois aromas

and flavours all soaring from the glass, it's medium-bodied, ripe and expansive, with lots of character, integrated

crispness and a clean, nicely focused finish.

Cabernet Franc Icewine, Peller Estates, Niagara Peninsula, Canada 2013 37.5cl

This unique dessert wine has been made in extremely limited quantities by allowing fully ripened grapes to freeze

on the vines and harvesting them in temperatures of -10 degrees. Each frozen grape is then pressed producing just

on drop of extremely concentrated juice. This is an extremely complex wine with flavours of red currants and

rhubarb with notes of spice and beautifully balanced acidity and sweetness.

Aperetif Noix du Pays d'Oc (Walnuts), Laurent Cazottes 50cl

This digestif/aperitif is made from red wine infused with green walnuts. The result which would be perfect served

with a cheese platter or bitter chocolate, shows sweet raisin, prune, coffee and walnut flavours. The sweetness is

tempered by a welcome twist of astringent bitterness on the finish, which then resolves into a sweetly nutty length.
