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

cocktails

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.

Otherwise known as skin contact and also “orange wine”. Put simply, these are wines made from white grape varieties, but macerated on their skins like reds. They have colour (from gold to pink, bronze and amber) and complex layers with lots of texture and even tannins. The most versatile of all food wines.
