The Cellar Collection
A showcase of cellar-worthy
stars, each chosen for its
complexity, class and
potential to age.
A Sense Of Occasion
A curated set featuring wines with depth, detail and a sense of occasion. Start with two standout New Zealand sparklings before moving into the 2025 Cuisine top-ranking Pinot Noir, Monte Christo Winery Pisa Pinot Noir 2023, alongside the ever-reliable Palliser Estate Chardonnay.
For the cheese course, return to bubbles with Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2016 (or cellar it, it will age beautifully). Finish with a glass of Late Bottled Vintage Port. A collection made for lingering dinners and sharing great conversations.
