Hambleton Hall

NV Champagne René Beaudouin

admin — Fri, 17 May 2013 13:25:35 +0000

Our house Champagne goes from strength to strength. Its a “Blanc de Blanc” which combines elegance and freshness with a little age and biscuit quality and none of the green unbalanced acidity that spoils many lesser wines.

£250.00 per case of 12 including VAT

2009 Sauvignon Blanc, Levin

admin — Fri, 17 May 2013 13:25:09 +0000

This wine comes from organic vineyards in the Loire valley owned by David Levin and his wife Lynne. Although the appellation is humble, (Vin du Pays du Val de Loire), ensuring a price generally lower than Sancerre or Pouilly Fumé, the wine has terrific backbone. It has some new world inspiration but lacks the overt grassy notes of much New Zealand Sauvignon, offering a more gentle and restrained sauvignon nose. Think of it as a classy Pouilly Fumé with depth, structure and minerality.

£130.00 per case of 12 including VAT

2012 Aubun Rosé, Domaine de Lansac, V de P des Alpilles

admin — Fri, 17 May 2013 13:24:37 +0000

This pale onion skin coloured Rosé from Provence is made with the unheard of grape variety ‘Aubun’ which somehow survived phylloxera. The wine has a charming peachy aroma and excellent structure and balance.

£57.00 per case of 6 including VAT

2011 Pinot Noir, Puy de Dome, Cave St Vernay

admin — Fri, 17 May 2013 13:22:36 +0000

Inexpensive Pinot Noir is hard to find and we like this one for its supple , clean and fruit driven style. In addition to typical Pinot red fruit character it has a leafy quality and a touch of spice. Ideal for summer drinking.

£55.00 per case of 6 bottles including VAT

2004 Chateau Cazebonne Graves

admin — Fri, 17 May 2013 13:22:05 +0000

We are always looking for claret which has the gentleness of age together with enough spice to make it interesting. This Graves has some stoney mineral qualities wrapped in velvety fruit. House Claret chez Hart!

£90.00 per case of 6 bottles including VAT

A pair of nifty Italians from the Organic Ciu Ciu Estate in the Marche
We would be very happy to rely on this pair for enjoyable summer drinking

2011 Rosso Piceno “Bacchus”

admin — Fri, 17 May 2013 13:20:37 +0000

This wine is made from a blend of Sangiovese and Montepulciano grapes giving a vermilion colour with aromas of rose, morello cherry and strawberries. It is medium bodied and supple

Summer 2013

admin — Wed, 15 May 2013 14:04:52 +0000

Whilst the civilised enjoyment of food and wine are the most popular sports at Hambleton by a wide margin, the perfect balance is achieved when some outdoor activity can be added to the mix.

Walking, cycling, sailing or birdwatching around Rutland Water are obvious choices. Alternatively many of our visitors like to seek some inspiration in a fine garden. My favourite in our region is Coton Manor which requires an expedition south-west into rural Northants (approx. 50 minutes drive). Beautifully planted and maintained by Susie Pasley-Tyler, Coton has glorious herbaceous borders, climbers, pots and containers and a handy café for lunch. Closer at hand are the famous Barnsdale Gardens (10 minutes drive) where Geoff Hamilton created small gardens with inspired design for BBC’s “Gardeners World” and the work is continued by his son Nick. Easton Walled Gardens are also well worth a visit and within around 20 minutes drive. At Easton, Lady Ursula Cholmeley is making tremendous progress with her project to restore some magnificent formal gardens which were abandoned some 60 years ago when the big house was demolished.
