BAR LIBERTY
A selection of fermented beverages
This is an alcohol bar. Whilst we have a bit of a thing for wine,
that’s certainly not all we serve. Herewith is a selection of beer,
cider, sake, fortified things, mixed drinks, spirits and even
things that don’t contain any alcohol at all but are still,
somehow, delicious.
Please enjoy.

2014 Transparente (Demi-Sec)
70
Apples. Floral attractive aromas, near dry rather than
off-dry. A perfectly balanced trinity of salt, acidity, and
delicate fruit, delivered with such lightness of texture.
2014 Premier Emois (Demi-Sec)
80
Apples. On the palate it is a little weightier than
Transparente and a touch sweeter. The softest of the
bunch - lovely, affectionate, secretive.
2014 Trois Pépins (Sec)
90
Apples, pears and quinces. Very bracing to drink, what a rush of salt and acidity, plus the
astringency of quince skin. It’s a very, very grown-up drink, and the most gastronomic.
2009 Poiré (Sec)
Pears. 8 native varieties of pear. Something quite special. Dry tasting with incredibly
delicate bubbles. Champagne-esque. Elegant, pristine, bright and very enchanting.

SPARKLING WINES
Fizzy wines. Not just for celebrating, but for refreshment & making the pain go away…
PET NAT
The O.G. of making wines sparkle. Lo-tech, no additions. The wine is bottled before it
has finished fermenting. Under pressure in the bottle, the CO2 generated from
fermentation has nowhere to dissipate and so is re-absorbed into the wine!

CHENIN BLANC
Some people (including many who work in
this bar) would say that the greatest of
grapes is Chenin Blanc.
From it are produced sparkling wines, still
wines, sweet wines and dry. Through all
of these styles shine intense pear, apple and
quince flavours, allied with delicate florality
and high acidity.

MACERATED WHITES
The vast majority of colour in wine comes from the skins of the grape. Thus, red wines
always include the skins to extract colour, whereas most white wines simply press the
grapes and discard the skins. The wines below are glorious exceptions - white wines
made with all parts of grape - a full expression.

OLD WINE
Because some things get sexier when they get older…
It can be pretty hard to find old wine. People drink it
too quickly…
Given time though, many wines can blossom into
incredible bottles, capable of infinite complexity and
amazing textures
1994 Crawford River Riesling
Henty, VIC
145
Australia's greatest Riesling producer, and has been for nearly two decades. These wines have such succulence and purity, with delicious and integrated acidity.
1999 Wendouree Shiraz/Mataro
Clare Valley, Sth Aust
190
Some of this country's longest lived red wines originate from an incredible vineyard in the
Clare Valley, with gnarled vines that top 100 years of age. Taste history!
2000 Pontoise Cabarrus
Haut-Médoc, France
125
The Haut-­‐Médoc offers some incredible bargains, perhaps none more so than this Cru Bourgeois producer. Moderate alcohol, elegant tannin and perfectly pitched acidity. 1982 Leoville Barton 2eme Cru
St Julien, France
450
1982 Chasse-Spleen
Moulis, France
290
Both from what has been considered the most favourable Bordeaux vintage from the
last half century. SJll powerful, with immense potenJal.
1966 Chateau Kirwan 3eme Cru
Margaux, France
330
A subtle, savoury gem. SoK, fine tannins and incredible perfume.
1978 Biondi Santi Brunello di Montalcino
Tuscany, Italy
495
Franco Biondi SanJ is credited with the invenJon of Brunello di Montalcino, being the
first to boNle the noble superior clone of Sangiovese Grosso alone, with extended aging.
1995 Dal Forno Romano Superiore
Valpolicella, Italy
The modernist master of Veneto. Fabulously intense wine, brimming with dark
chocolate, velvet and bay leaves. A sumptuous blend of Corvina, Molinara and a touch of Rondinella. HedonisJc.
(doubtful) Fun Fact :
Drinking old wine makes you
smarter and more beautiful!
