Avanti Restaurant and Bar Menu & Prices — Carnforth

This wine combines beautifully developed citrus and dried fruit flavours. Perfect either as an aperitif or with dessert. It has been made to recreate the historic lighter style of Madeira once shipped to a US merchant in Baltimore, that is said to have been diluted while awaiting shipment on a rain-drenched Funchal dock.

Described by Jancis Robinson as “criminally good”. A wonderful mix of flavours on the nose, a nutty dryness underpinned by richer apricot and sultana. The taste is quite exceptional, with a sweetness and richness of fruit with hints of walnuts giving an elegant twist to the finish(18%)

Deeply complex aroma of lapsang tea and bitter orange/apricot fruit. Dried fruits and nutty but not sweet-smelling. Very special wine. A cross between wine and madeira. It's sweet but finishes dry. Lightly tannic and a long bitter-orange finish. So long. (18%)

The wine has a dark, concentrated fruit character with lovely spice and warmth from oak. The sweetness is balanced by fresh acidity and finishes with a superb velvety texture. (19.5%)

Amber tawny colour with a wonderful aroma of nuts, coffee and chocolate topped with hints of orange peel. Rich and soft on the pallet full of ripe fruit flavours that persist on a long and elegant finish. (19.5%)

Dried fruit, caramel, spices, florals and especially citrus orange peel. Classic, sweet marmalade and quince flavours, balanced by great freshness. A lovely, unoaked wine to have with desert or a cake. (17%)

A wine that almost disappeared, with just 18 hectars of vineyard surviving, being bought by the local municipality rather than it be built on! This 15 year old is SOOO' good! Velvety, delicate and not too sickly sweet. There are hints of nuts, toffee, spice and even Würthers Originals! It has a long lingering finish with a little orange peel. (19.5%)
