TGWG's Verdict
The Good Wine Guide“The Higher Ground wine list is a brilliant curation of low-intervention, terroir-driven gems from iconic European estates. It showcases deep, thoughtful selections of natural skin-contact whites and elegant, chillable reds. No glass options are mathematically cheaper per-ml than their bottle counterparts, making bottle purchases the most rewarding route here.”
Priced close to shop price (est. £220 retail) — just a +7% markup compared to the usual 200%+ restaurant markup.
Top-rated ★ 4.1 on Vivino for just £43.00 a bottle — serious quality without the splurge.
