If this wine list is too much for you note we match every dish on our menus with two wines to save you the time, please enjoy the diversity of our wine choices.

Getting the best from our Award Winning Wine List

Together with Riedel and Le Verre de Vin and Coravin, we offer exceptional and rare wines by the glass. We were the first in the UK to offer Penfolds Grange and Vintage Krug by the glass, and will continue to offer further exceptional and rare wines throughout the year for your enjoyment.

Australia Rules!

Whilst the Supermarkets continue to swamp their shelves with mass produced New World Wines, we take pride in having amassed one of the finest Australian Wine Lists in the World, with back vintages which are the envy of many an Australian Wine Maker. Remember ABC means; Absolutely Brilliant Chardonnay.

New Zealand offers some of the finest Pinot Noir’s, Syrah and Chardonnay in the world. It’s not just about Sauvignon Blanc, also do remember quality Sauvignon Blanc really is elegant and pure. Roger visited New Zealand as guest of New Zealand Wines 2 years ago and is back there again this coming February.

Having visited South Africa 4 times in the last 2 years, and even hosted a seminar at their High Commission, we are now building up one of the finest lists of South African wine outside the Cape. Premium quality with finesse, these guys have come along way in the last decade, lots of young vibrant winemakers. Look out for our big South African events this September.

Riedel Glassware

Numerous consumer and trade tests have been carried out to prove that Riedel makes a huge difference in the enjoyment of wine. We offer up to 18 different glass styles here at The Harrow each to complement various grape varieties. Georg Riedel even uses The Harrow as his UK base to promote his glassware.
