RED WINES

We have completely overhauled our wine list. Here we introduce our new and exciting wines, chosen to compliment our diverse menu.

Pairing wine with aromatic and spicy food can be done in two ways:
Pairing by contrast – advisable if you are not used to the heat of Indian cuisine, in order to soften and refresh the palate. A good level of acidity / fruitiness can counterbalance any burning sensation, along with a lower degree of alcohol.Pairing by resemblance – the wine will reinforce the aromas, spices and heat of the dishes. A higher degree of alcohol will reinforce this process.
