The Adnams Selection wine range
The Adnams Selection wines are carefully chosen for their great character and value, truly worthy to carry the Adnams own label.
Whilst we don't make the Adnams Selection wines ourselves, these would be the wines we'd choose to make if we could!
The wines are hand-picked, and much-loved, by staff and customers alike.
White wines
The Adnams Selection White Burgundy, Cuvée Paul Talmard, Mâcon-Chardonnay, France
This is our all time favourite. The Talmard's Chardonnay is spectacular for the price. Totally unoaked, it has a purity and length that puts most other Chardonnays to shame. Winemaker Benjamin Gonzalez uses indigenous yeasts and applies a policy of minimal intervention to bring us such lovely clean flavours and pure fruit expression. This is great as an aperitif, or pair with creamy chicken and white meat dishes.
The Adnams Selection Classic Sauvignon, Domaine Beauséjour, Loire, France
Philippe Trotignon's Sauvignon is unmistakably Sauvignon Blanc, with the aromatic qualities you'd associate with New Zealand, the minerality of a Sancerre, and the ripe gooseberry flavours of classic Touraine. This is delightfully pure and is a joy when you feel like something fresh and zingy.
The Adnams Selection Viognier, 'Granite Hill', Paarl, South Africa
Alicia Rechner at Seidelberg Estate in Paarl makes this deliciate, flavourssome dry white. With its white stone-fruit and honeysuckle aromas, it has delicate lime and exotic fruit tones on the finish.
The Adnams Selection Pinot Grigio 'La Corte', Italy
All wines from the brilliant Italian Estate of Fasoli Gino are organically produced. Our Pinot Grigio is a perfect example of this popular grape variety with its clean, lively palate of fresh pears finishing on a twist of citrus.
Dessert Wine
The Adnams Selection Fine Dessert Wine, Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh, La Collection Plaimont, Gascony, France (50cl)
Delicious aromas of mandarins and candied citrus peel. This has lovely, sweet, honeyed fruit flavours with a dry edge that makes it a perfect partner to strawberries, fine patisserie and all manner of puddings.
Rosé
The Adnams Selection Rosado, Monte Arlas, Navarra, Spain
This still remains a principle part of Alastair Marshall's wine-diet (which he sticks to with a religious fervour). Serve it nicely chilled to enjoy its fresh strawberry, raspberry and red fruit flavours.
Sparkling Wines
The Adnams Selection Fizz, Chardonnay Brut, France
A cheerful sparkling Chardonnay from a winery in the Loire Valley. This is fresh and citrusy in character with lively bubbles.
The Adnams Selection Rosé Fizz, France
Our Rosé Fizz is made from Cabernet Franc grapes grown in the Loire Valley. This has the aromas and flavours of crushed strawberries with appetising, dry finish. At best served chilled, this is a joyous glass of bubbly.
Red Wines
The Adnams Selection Malbec, 'El Dominio', Luyan de Coyo, Argentina
'El Dominio' combines both the nergy and concentration of Argentina's signature grape variety, and is made for us by Susana Balbo.
The Adnams Selection Tuscan Red, Italy
Made by the talented winemakers from Castello di Volpaia, this is a superb Tuscan wine - a blend of Sangiovese and Merlot.
The Adnams Selection Rioja Crianza, 'Monte Acuro', Rioja, Spain
Our Rioja comes from the eastern end of the region near the town of Aldeanueva de Ebro. Satisfyingly fruity with a lingering oaky finish, it is a blend of mainly Tempranillo with Garnacha, Mazuello and Graciano grapes aged for 14 months in American oak casks. Traditional Rioja with a modern, fruity edge.
The Adnams Selection Côtes-du-Rhône, 'Les Promesses', Rhône, France
Etienne Gonnet's Châteauneuf estate of Font de Michelle is the home of our Côte-du-Rhône. With soils resembling those of the bolder strewn Châteauneuf they grow Syrah, Grenache and Counoise grape varieties with minimum use of herbicides or pesticides and produce full bodied, delicious reds.
The Adnams Selection Claret, 'Les Sources', Fronsac, Bordeaux, France
Fine black fruit flavours from the stunningly picturesque Château de la Rivière.
The Adnams Selection French Country Wines
These two wines are made for us by the Perrin brothers of Château Beaucastel, and offer great value for money.
The Adnams Selection La Tour du Prélat Blanc, Perrin et Fils
A delicious blend of two of the Rhône's best-known white varieties, Viognier and Marsanne. Aromas of lime blossom mingle with yellow fruits and flavours of ripe pears. The acidity is lively and fresh but the mouthfeel is weighty enough to accompany pork, chicken or fish admirably.
The Adnams Selection La Tour du Prélat Rouge, Perrin et Fils
Full of lively red fruit aromas with a mouthful of spice, violets and juicy red fruit flavours, this is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Counoise. A terrific wine for everyday drinking, yet with backbone enough to pair handsomely with chargrilled meats or pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces.
Adnams Champagne
The Adnams Selection Champagne Brut
This is great value Champagne, with fresh, lively fruit flavours, and that toasty edge associated with more expensive cuvées.
The Adnams Selection Champagne Rosé
A grand party wine par excellence. The colour, aromas and flavour all suggest soft red fruits, and there is also a savoury 'bite', making this delicious and moreish.
The Adnams Selection Sherries and Port
The Adnams Selection Fino, Pale Dry
Dry and elegant with the savoury freshness of premium fino.
The Adnams Selection Amontillado, Pale Medium Dry Sherry
Traditional, soft, medium-dry with attractive nutty length of flavour.
The Adnams Selection Oloroso, Rich Cream
Dark amber, with luscious, raisiny depth of fruitcake richness.
The Adnams Selection Ruby Port
Soft and rich, our own label traditional Ruby Port is packed with rich, red-fruit flavours.
The Adnams Cellar Selection
The Adnams Cellar Selection is a collection of 'classic' wines we think would be perfect to take along to a dinner party or to accompany a special meal or event.
The Adnams Cellar Selection Sancerre
'La Mérisière' is a block of vines in Sancerre, owned by our favourite Pouilly-Fumé grower, who has made this incisively pure dry white with elements of both great appellations.
The Adnams Cellar Selection Fronsac
A merlot-dominant Claret with a touch of Cabernet and Malbec. Classic mellow, plum cake characteristics, firm tannins and cedar aromas.
The Adnams Cellar Selection Vintage Champagne
An affordable indulgence. This wine has a high percentage of Chardonnay and extended time (four and a half years) on its lees in the cellars.
