TGWG's Verdict

The Good Wine Guide

“The Ancient Mariner Inn wine list shines with high-altitude Hawke’s Bay Syrah and iconic Champagne houses. Deep terroir expression defines the cellar, from structured St Émilion Grand Cru to mineral-rich Rías Baixas Albariño. It balances classic old-world regions alongside expressive English sparkling rosé. This curated collection offers remarkable depth for all palates.”
