Intensive and individual. This champagne is a gem.

Botter Brut Spumante 7,5/45 €

Marqués De Cáceres Cava Brut 8,5/49 €
SPAIN, XAREL-LO, MACABEO, PARELLADA
Fresh and tasty Cava, straight from Catalonia. In the Spanish way, at its best as an aperitif, with small snacks and, of course, in the middle of a party.

Braunewell Riesling Sekt 63 €
GERMANY, RIESLING
A sparkling German Riesling made using the champagne method. This wine is rich in bubbles and has undergone a long maturation period. It is
semi-dry and has a rich taste.

Dopf Cuvée Julien Crémant 10/67 €

quality sparkling wine made using the champagne method. Its has a long-lingering taste which stays fresh. The wine is a tribute to the father of the Cremant wine style, Julien Dopff. The bottle aging process guarantees a rich taste which is dry, tart, fresh and long.

Can Sala 2008 Cava De Paraje 203 €
SPAIN, XAREL-LO, PARELLADA
This is not an ordinary Cava, but an extreme one the end result of handcraft, which has a truly dignified essence. If you want a light and easy sparkling wine, then choose something else, because this Cava de Paraje, chosen as the best sparkling wine in the world a couple of years ago, is a real flavor bomb! The wine is ripe fruity, honey, toasty, brioche, mature and long. This is because it has matured in the cellar in the bottle for 144 months before going on sale, so it is not a “little sparkling”. Can Sala was founded in 1901 and today represents a newer Cava de Paraje quality classification created for the top Single Vineyard Cava, of which only 10 Cavas have been approved.

Cocktails

WHITES

Fronte E Retro “Pons” Organic 8,5/39 €
ITALY, GRILLO, CHARDONNAY
A slightly dry but fruity white wine where two southern Italian grapes meet. Low acidity and quite rich. Versatile wine for socializing.

Via Barrosa Treixadura 10,5/48 € 
SPAIN, TREIXADURA
Recently, several wonderfully fresh white wines have emerged from northern Spain, and one of them is Treixadura, which is a little more unknown to Finns. The wine is dry, floral and citrusy, and by no means too heavy a white wine – and above all, something new!

Amo.Te Vinho Verde Branco 10,5/48 €
PORTUGAL, LOUREIRO, ARINTO, TRAJADURA
A refreshingly lively Vinho Verde from Portugal which is a semi-dry and cheery, sparkling entity. The freshness invites you to pour another glass while its flavor will surely blow you away.

Western Cellars Winemaker’s Selection Lodi 48 €
USA, CHARDONNAY
A traditional Californian Chardonnay that combines fruitiness with the strength brought by oaking. The most versatile as a food wine, and if you want a white wine for your tartar, it’s here.

Corvers-Kauter R3 Riesling Organic 11,5/52 €
GERMANY, RIESLING
When one glass of riesling is not enough.  An award-winning riesling that fits the every situation.

Château Du Cleray Muscadet Sévre Et Maine Sur Lie 11,5/52 €
FRANCE, MELON DE BOURGOGNE
Muscadet is one of the most important wine styles for the Loire Valley. The name may confuse many, because it has nothing to do with the Muscat grape. The wine is 100% Melon de Bourgogne grapes, being dry, acidic, citrusy and mineral, and also quite long.

Domäne Wachau Grüner Veltliner Federspiel  12/56/109  €
AUSTRIA, GRÜNER VELTLINER
A cheerfully juicy bite of an apple with an elegant touch.
A mineral note from wonderful beaches of Wachau.

Cantina Lavis Pinot Grigio 56 €
ITALY, PINOT GRIGIO
The wine comes from the northernmost corner of Italy, Trentino, and that’s why this wine has a slightly stronger taste than you’re used to in Pinot Grigios. The wine has minerality, without forgetting the freshness characteristic of the grape.

Moillard Aop Saint-Bris 56  €
FRANCE, SAUVIGNON BLANC
Saint-Bris wine is a specialty of Burgundy. Burgundy and especially Chablis is of course known for its Chardonnay variety, but just southwest of Chablis there is a small village called Saint-Bris-le-Vineux, where only Sauvignon Blanc grows. This wine combines the best aspects of Sauvignon Blanc and Chablis, being at the same time refreshingly acidic, but also mineral without too much raisininess. An interesting regional specialty.

Orube Rioja Blanco 58 €
SPAIN, VIURA, CHARDONNAY, TEMPRANILLO BLANCO
In addition to red wine, Rioja also produces high-quality white wine. Thanks to the light oaking, this wine goes well with almost any food. If you want, for example, a slightly lighter alternative to French Chardonnay, grab Orube.

Stift Klosterneuburg Riesling Classic 60 € 
AUSTRIA, RIESLING
Many are certainly familiar with Grüner Veltliner from Austria, but the second most important white wine grape is of course Riesling. This Riesling is tart and really dry. Also quite rich in taste. The wine goes well with the food and is a real treat for lovers of strong Rieslings!

Patriarche Chablis 79 €
FRANCE, CHARDONNAY
The most famous wine style of northern Burgundy. Due to the unique soil and Chardonnay grape, Chablis is a year-round delight with a marine flavor, minerality and richness. This wine has taste and style.

Fumu Etna Bianco Doc 19/89 €
ITALY, CARRICANTE
Did you know that the area around Etna is the best place for grapes to grow due to its unique soil. The extremely mineral-rich and ancient volcanic soil produces unique wines, and the grapes are of course local native varieties. The end result is an elegant, stylish food wine that will not leave anyone cold.

ROSÉ / Orange

Zensa Rosé Organico 10/45 €
ITALY, NEGROAMARO, PRIMITIVO
Dry, lightly acidic and light red berry. It is suitable for many purposes just as it is, but is also a perfect pair for vegetarian dishes. Fresh with a hint of strawberry.

Screaming Devil Côtes De Provence Rosé  12/56 €
FRANCE, GRENACHE, CINSAULT, SYRAH
France is the birthplace of rosé wines and Provence is certainly the most prestigious region. Screaming Devil is a playful novelty that doesn’t care about unnecessary stiffness and it will certainly endear many to fans of rosé wines. A long-tasting and versatile wine, if you want the most versatile bottle of wine for your menu and table.

 

Gérard Bertrand Orange Gold 16/75 €
FRANCE, CHARDONNAY, GRENACHE BLANC, MARSANNE, MAUZAC, MUSCAT, VIOGNIER
Gérard Bertrand is France’s leading producer of organic and biodynamic wines. When making Orange Cold wine, the skins and stems of organic grapes are macerated with the wine for 10-15 days, which gives the wine its beautiful orange color, as well as structure and gentle tannicity. The wine has a beautiful golden color. In the multidimensional scent, you can distinguish white flowers, a hint of white pepper, and fruitiness such as peach, apricot and plum. The round and mouth-pleasing taste is fresh.

REDS

Fronte E Retro ”Pons” Organic 8,5/39 €
ITALY, NERO D’AVOLA, MERLOT
Soft red wine, where the fullness comes out as jammy and fruity. Ripe red berries and gentle chocolate are present in the wine.

La Celia Pioneer Malbec 11,50 /52 €
ARGENTINA, MALBEC
Malbec and Argentina are the best combination in the new world. This Malbec is rich and plump, but not too jammy in any way. The best friend of meat dishes, but thanks to its roundness, it is also an easy wine to socialize with.

Domaine Saint-Paul Grenache Syrah 11,5/52 €
FRANCE, CRENACHE, SYRAH
A juicy union of two famous grapes from southern France. This wine is medium-bodied, but the tannicity harmonizes perfectly with dark berries. A spicy combination.

Pablo Claro Oak Aged 11,50 / 52 €
SPAIN, CABERNET SAUVIGNON, GRACIANO
A strict Spanish combination of Cabernet Sauvignon and Graciano. The full-bodied wine has strong tannins from one-year oaking. The end result is well structured and filled with gently vanilla.

Tenute Fioribelli Ripasso 52 €
ITALY, CORVINA, RONDINELLA, MOLINARA
Little cousin of Amarone from Valpolicella. Ripasso has used the peels and stems of the local Amarone in the second fermentation process. This Ripasso has been aged in oak for at least 8 months – delicate and soft with hint of raisininess.

Masseria Trulli Primitivo 12/56 €
ITALY, PRIMITIVO
Primitivo, the most famous grape in southern Italy, is a rich, jammy, powerful wine. This wine is chocolatey and slightly oaky thanks to its low residual sugar. The gourmet choice

1865 Tayu Pinot Noir 13,5/62 €
CHILE, PINOT NOIR
The wine is made in cooperation with the indigenous people of Chile. The Mapuche families in the project cultivate the grapes and the winery makes them into an incredibly high-quality end result. The wine itself is acidic and a little smoky, while also being an elegant medium-bodied red wine.

Stift Klosterneuburg Patronis 14/65/130 €
AUSTRIA,ST.LAURENT, ZWEIGELT, MERLOT
A true masterpiece of Austria’s oldest winery, which is also a monastery. A delightful blend of three grapes aged in oak.

Castello Di Radda Chianti Classico Docg 14,5/67 €
ITALY, SANGIOVESE
A real classic, as you can guess from the name. Chianti Classico is always a stronger wine than basic Chianti, so in this wine Sangiovese reaches a whole new dimension. Here is truly one of Tuscany’s most important wines.

Finca El Serrano Monastrell 16/75 €
SPAIN, MONASTRELL
A phenomenal red wine from Alicante with a lot of flavor and character from a small plot of five hectares. However, the wine is not too tannic, but rather full-bodied. Gentle without being sweet.

Fumu Etna Rosso Doc 19/89 €
ITALY, NERELLO MASCALESE, NERELLO CAPPUCCIO
Thanks to its soil, unique grapes grow at the foot of Etna, Sicily’s largest volcano. The extremely mineral-rich and ancient volcanic soil produces unique wines, and the grapes are of course local native varieties. Etna Rosso is a light but mineral red wine with a long taste. Definitely represents the more refined side of Sicilian wine.

Domaine De La Chartreuse Châteauneuf-Du-Pape 89 €
FRANCE, GRENACHE, MOURVEDRE, SYRAH, CINSAULT, CLAIIRETTE, BOURBOLENC
Full-bodied and tannic, the pride of southern France. Powerful and nuanced even without the presence of oak. This dark cherry wine is the pride of its region. A game wine above all.

Cesari Jema 99/198 €
ITALY, CORVINA
Jema comes from the same area as the famous Valpollicella Amarone but this wine only has the Corvina Veronese grape. This wine is considerably lighter when compared to Amarones but it still has a familiarity and tannicity softened by the gentle raisininess. Made using the Apassimento method characteristic of the region.

La Celia Heritage Malbec 103 €
ARGENTINA, MALBEC
This pure Malbec expresses itself with complex aromas of wild berries and spices, as well as nuances of pepper and vanilla. It is ample and silky, concentrated, with fine and elegant tannins and a lingering finish. This red wine comes from a single vineyard in the Paraje Altamira region, in the Uco Valley. It perfectly reflects all the aromatic expression of Argentinian Malbec, a country which has made it its emblematic grape variety, to the point of making us forget its French origin!
