The Wine List
In the same way the menu changes with the season so does the wine list. In the summer the lighter, crisper wines match the lighter more delicate dishes whereas in the winter wines need to be slightly richer with stronger characters to complement the more wholesome dishes. The intention is to also to ensure the wine list unites both the classics and well loved favourites with more innovative and unusual wines. There is a large collection of New World wines, a well-rounded selection of half bottles and this summer we have a superb rosé Champagne available by the glass.
Paul and Lisa are as passionate about the wine offering as they are about the food and often pick up some interesting finds on their travels around the world. Whilst in Spain they discovered a great Rioja from Bodega Altanza and within no time at all they'd purchased a barrel! This was bottled especially for Wedgwood the Restaurant and bears the name on the back label. There is a great deal of synergy between Wedgwood the Restaurant and Bodega Altanza - both being independent and family owned; passionate about flavours and continually striving to bring enjoyment to customers. Embracing the heritage of Rioja, Bodegas Altanza strives to blend tradition and modernity producing some superb fruit driven wines. The wine has been particularly well received by customers.
More recently Paul and Lisa were in South Africa and not surprisingly the wine list at Wedgwood the Restaurant now has some interesting wines from The Cape. In addition when Ken Forrester was over in the UK he didn't take much persuasion to head up to the restaurant to host a superb evening.
