Think of wine and chances are that you instantly conjure up images of vines growing on a picturesque French hillside. And with good reason, because for hundreds of years France has enjoyed the reputation for producing the world’s finest wines thanks to its love of the grape.
At La Grillade, we celebrate this passion for wine with a selection of predominately French wines selected by our own in-house expert. He is none other than our owner who has his own vineyard in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of south west France.
As you can imagine, with such a connoisseur choosing the wines for our cellar, our selection is second to none and even includes our own award winning wines grown at our vineyard.
The result is a choice of wines with something to suite every meal, every palette and of course, every pocket.
