The famous German poet once was asked which three things

he would take to an island. He stated:

"Poetry, a beautiful woman and enough bottles of the

world's finest wines to survive this dry period!"

Then he was asked what he would leave back first, if it was

allowed to take only two things to the island. And he briefly

replied:

"The poetry!"

Slightly surprised, the man asked the next question:

"And Sir, what would you leave back if only one was allowed?"

And Goethe thought for a couple of minutes and answered:

"It depends on the vintage!"

Johann Wolfgang Goethe

Dear Guest, please be aware that the vintage of our wines may be subject to change

The Wine List Wine is a pure reflection of its terroir and no other simple product sums up its cultural,

geographical and historical origins in quite the same way.

Wine is simple and complex also, that’s why in this wine list every wine lover who is

looking for a well priced pleasurable indulgence will find some wonderful nectars.

We are proud to say that some of the appellations we have in this extensive wine list, are

sourced from independent, family owned properties. These vineyards are driven with

passion and the results are evident within our selection, with many vintages exclusively

available here at Hayfield Manor.

So, we should leave the wine do the talking and we wish you a memorable wine & dining

experience.

Please don’t be shy to ask for recommendations also.

Bonne degustation,

Head Sommeliere,

Sandra Biret-Crowley.

“ The taste of a good wine is remembered

long after the price is forgotten”.
