Storrs Hall Wine List Storrs Hall has always been well known for the quality of its cuisine and wine list. Today we are continuing this tradition and hope to offer an exciting range of classic and emerging wines to meet all tastes. We are constantly seeking out unusual and mature wines, resulting in a highly dynamic list. Often the most characterful wines at the ideal state of maturity are available only in small quantities. If you would like to request a particular wine (even if it is not listed), would like a wine decanted in advance or would like to discuss your food and wine choices, please ask. Where’s the cork? Great wines deserve a great cap, which is why, a proportion of our wines are sealed with a screw cap which: 1. Eliminates cork taint, which causes wine to have a musty smell and taste. 2. Virtually eliminates all risk of oxidation, which dulls the wine. 3. Helps the wine age by preserving its freshness, aromatic and varietal character. The wine cellars at Storrs Hall are always open for viewing, whether just to look around or if you would like to book for a group tasting on wines, Champagnes or local traditional beers.

Rosé Champagne Rosé Champagne can be made in one of two ways: First by maceration of black grapes during pressing, so that the colour leeches out from the skins or by adding a small proportion of the red wine from the Champagne region to give the wine a rose tint. The former method (de saignée) is more expensive and difficult to control, but many would say produces the better Champagne.

Vintage Champagne Vintage Champagne is a blend of wines from a particular year, when the quality of the harvest was sufficient to declare a "Vintage". Obviously, not every year is a vintage year, but the vintage is left to the individual houses themselves to declare. Therefore, some houses declare a vintage Champagne in a year where others did not feel the quality justified it.

Probably the most famous of these is Moët's Cuvée Dom Pérignon. In fact Moët invented the Cuvée Prestige with Dom Pérignon in 1921. Prestige cuvées represent the pinnacle of a house's achievement and can be a vintage or occasionally a blend of vintages.

Burgundy - Red Beaujolais It's well worth the wait if you leave them in the bottle for a few years. Connoisseurs wait for the spring following the harvest before tasting them. They wait for the Beaujolais Crus to have "done their Easter duty" (fait leurs Pâques) as the winemakers say.

South Australia South Australia is the wine industry’s powerhouse State, producing most of the nation’s wine and boasting some of the oldest individual vines in the world. The venerable old vines found in South Australia’s Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills, through their isolation, survived the great phylloxera plagues that wiped out the vines of North America and Europe, and somewhat later, devastated Australia’s eastern vineyards. Quarantine restrictions were introduced, saving South Australia’s vines from phylloxera, and ensuring the State retained its grape growing status.

Natural Spring Water Lakeland Willow Waters history dates back to the 12th Century monks of Cartmel Priory. It’s unique because it naturally contains traces of Salicin, which is derived from white willow bark. Its secret is its source – a deep underground aquifer - fed over hundreds of years by rainwater which has filtered through layers of white willow bark sediment from the vast forests which once covered the Cartmel Valley in England’s picturesque Lake District.
