I N T RO D U C T I O N The wine list at Core by Clare Smyth embraces everything Clare and the team love about wine from old, fine and rare to young, new and exciting. Our cellar is home to wines that are already firm favourites, vintages to return to time and time again as well as a host of fresh discoveries waiting to be tried; an authentic reflection on the wine world today. Our team are entirely dedicated to exceptional wine and hope to offer a list that excites every palette. We are proud of the depth that has been meticulously built into the collection, matching Core’s food and service with our shared dedication to excellence. We appreciate the uniqueness of every bottle and wish to commend the hard work of their production. We strive to do justice to all those involved from the growers, to the winemakers and the barrel crafters. Many dedicated hands were responsible in bringing these wines to our door, and to your table. To see the vineyards, feel the soil, taste the grapes, and talk to the producers – this is something you can’t find in wine books. We travel regularly to wine regions and as sommeliers, we are the connection between the winemaker and the consumer. Each opportunity for our guests to experience the provenance of individual wines fuels our enthusiasm and gives us the chance to share our passion for wine. We love an inspiring quote, and sometimes a drawing can speak volumes where words can confuse. We have quite a comprehensive list, but we hope that you find it pretty easy to navigate and hard to put down. We aim to provide the highest level of service but without the pretence. We want you to have fun, and we want to make it personal, tailored to you and your time with us. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know your Cabernet from your Carignan. In fact, that’s even more exciting for us because we then get to act as your guide and hopefully share something new. Head Sommelier Gareth Ferreira CORE wine list 2021 3
CO R E W I N E PA I R I N G Working closely with the kitchen team, our sommeliers have carefully selected the following wines to be paired. C O R E C L A S S I C S 2019 Semillon Old Vines, Matias Riccitelli, Rio Negro Patagonia Argentina Sourced from vines that are 50 years old, at an altitude of 400m above sea level with a large diurnal shift excellent for the production of quality grapes. 2018 Chardonnay Estate, Ten Minutes by Tractor, Victoria Australia We are defined by place, three vineyards, only ten minutes by tractor apart in space and time, but separated by aspect and altitude, by slope and soil, by the winds which flow through the valleys running south into Bass Strait. Cool places. Elegant places. Places defined, in our minds, by the wines we make from each and which seem to be a world apart 2018 Saint-Péray Les Figuiers, Bernard Gripa, Rhône Valley France Based in Mauves, Gripa is one of the old-line domaines in the heart of the original St-Joseph appellation with vines in Mauves and Tournon. The Gripa family have been winemakers here since the 17th century with Bernard commencing bottling of the domaine’s own wine in 1974. 2014 Pinot Noir Dierberg Block Five, Tyler, Santa Maria Valley U.S.A.

C H A M PA G N E We love our Champagne at Core. Quite simply, because Champagne continues to be the envy of the world’s sparkling wine producers. Ok, so Champagne sales have taken a hit from Prosecco recently, while English sparkling wine producers are rightly shouting about their usefully high acidity levels as the Champagne region warms up. But Champagne still rules, especially when it comes to ageing. That said, the big Champagne houses are being challenged by a new wave of producers who prefer to wear a pair of jeans than a sharp suit; who might farm organically, and focus on single vineyard and single grape variety wines. Cue the Champagne grower. The rise of the grower-producers has revolutionised this generation in the region. Top Champagne is no longer the exclusive realm of the big players. While single vineyard is the new vanguard, with deliciously complex cuvées from trailblazing terroiriste growers taking the wine world by storm. “I only drink Champagne when I’m happy, and when I’m sad. Sometimes I drink it when I’m alone. When I have company, I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I am not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise I never touch it – unless I’m thirsty.” Lily Bollinger CORE wine list 2021 14

B U RG U N D Y – CÔ T E D E B E A U N E Getting your head around Burgundy’s classification system Ok, deep breath. There are general appellations, such as Bourgogne Rouge, and regional appellations, such as Chablis. Village wines come next, naming the best villages, such as Meursault. Next up is premier cru, the second-best vineyard within each village – the village comes first on the label, like Meursault-Charmes. Finally, grands crus, the top wines in Burgundy, from the top vineyards. “I feel sorry for people who don’t drink. When they wake up in the morning, that’s as good as they’re going to feel all day.” Frank Sinatra CORE wine list 2021 19

B U RG U N D Y Talk to any Burgundy buff and it won’t be long before the word ‘terroir’ crops up. The term, bandied around the wine world, carries so much meaning and weight, and refers to all the natural elements – the geography, the geology and the climate, which together with the winemakers’ skills creates a unique vintage. But just when you’ve got your head around that, up pops the word ‘climat’, which is unique to the wines of Burgundy. Climat is a precisely delineated vine plot, with its own microclimate, and specific geological condition, shaped by human cultivation over centuries. The Gallo-Romans grew vines here. In the Middle Ages, monks carved up their vineyards into tiny patches, marking their boundaries with dry-stone walls. Along the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune, home of the greatest Burgundies, there are more than 1,200 such sites, clustered around villages, methods passed down from generation to generation – and this, in a nutshell, is what makes Burgundy so special. “Nothing makes the future look so rosy as to contemplate it through a glass of Chambertin.” Napoleon Bonaparte CORE wine list 2021 34

B O R D E A U X Ringing the changes in Bordeaux So you thought things hadn’t changed much in France’s most famous and largest wine region? Think again. There have been fundamental stylistic shifts in the region’s wines over the last few decades. Thanks go in part to the simultaneous rise of the consultant and the wine critic (we’re thinking of you, Michel Rolland and Robert Parker Jr). Their influence was – still is – massive, prompting an opulence in the wines not seen before. Who cares how these new super- ripe wines age? Not the public, certainly, who don’t want to wait three decades to drink it. Yes, the region still lives and dies by the 1855 classification that ranks its top properties, but nearly everyone not at the top thinks this is now past its expiration date. And there’s a growing number of earnest producers making laudable wines at artisan level, who are now farming with an eye on organics, and who revere the freshness and integrity that once made ‘claret’, as us Brits like to call it, so beloved. “I can certainly see that you know your wine. Most of the guests who stay here wouldn’t know the difference between Bordeaux and Claret” Basil Fawlty CORE wine list 2021 40

N O RT H E R N R H Ô N E Did you know that there are vineyards along virtually the entire length of the Rhône River, from its source in the Swiss Alps to its mouth near Marseilles? The variety of wines is staggering, unsurprisingly. In wine terms, the valley is split into the northern and southern Rhône. The vineyards in the north, some of the oldest in France, are etched into the mountainside on narrow terraces at dizzying gradients, with the great majority of wine being made from the Syrah grape. The region’s most famous wines are the deep-flavoured, long-lived reds of Hermitage and the generally more fragrant and delicate Côte-Rôtie. The southern Rhône, meanwhile, is more user-friendly (more boozy, too – we’re looking at you, Châteauneuf-du-Pape). You can thank the openly fruity character of the Grenache grape, which rules here. And the change in scenery – it’s the gateway to Provence, think olive trees, lavender and cicadas. CORE wine list 2021 45
