The Oarsman Wine list
It might appear a bit bonkers, but that’s half the fun, there are over 300 wines, more than 200 grape varieties from forty plus countries, the quandary is, if we don’t list them, you can’t try them – so let’s be a bit bonkers.
All are farmed sustainably, most organically a good deal biodynamically and much with minimal intervention.
They’ve been grouped by style which we hope is helpful, and added notes on grape varieties where it’s not obvious.
The list by the glass will change every week and if there is something you’d like by the 500ml carafe (except the old and rare) we’ll open it – on a simple equation of 2/3rds the full list price.
So on the board you’ll see a new 250ml opportunity available. So look out for additional wines being opened live on the blackboards.

O2, Sherries & Flor
A section devoted to the great wines of sherry, some aged under the veil of yeast called “flor” (these are lighter and saltier) whereas others undergo a more oxidative ageing protocol (these are deeper and have a pronounced nutty quality as well as distinctive umami character). The lighter wines pair well with seafood and oily fish, whilst the more complex ones go excellently with offal, beef and mature hard cheeses. Palomino is the grape here.

“Garrigue, Maquis and Fynbos…”
Wines that hail from “the sun-baked, cicada-loud, ageless country of scrub and terraced hills… the archetypal Mediterranean landscape of rock & olive, wild thyme, vineyards, light”. This is the garrigue or maquis, and fynbos a scrubland of rock, forest and wild herbs, one that inflects the wines with their unique aromas and flavours.

The Oarsman drinks list
Drink to me only with thine eyes,And I will pledge with mine;Or leave a kiss but in the cup,And I’ll not look for wine.The thirst that from the soul doth riseDoth ask a drink divine;But might I of Jove’s nectar sup,I would not change for thine.—Ben Johnson

The deeds to twelve manor houses were hidden in the pie. The abbot did this in an attempt to ingratiate himself with the king during the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
