2026 Wine List of the Year: Mountain

The National Restaurant Awards were launched in 2007 to celebrate the UK eating-out scene. The Top 100 is produced from an academy of more than 200 chefs, restaurateurs, food writers: the UK is split into 11 regions, voters nominate seven restaurants they have visited in the previous 12 months, those weighted votes form the national ranking. The specialist awards sit alongside that ranking and identify category leaders in service, drinks, sustainability, regional excellence, notable new openings. For the 2026 Wine List of the Year page, Pearl treats Mountain as a single-winner specialist award rather than a ranked list. Mountain's wine list is overseen by Holly Willcocks and Martina Larnach and supports the restaurant's Welsh-Spanish cooking. The 2026 award recognizes a roughly 500-bin, Europe-focused program with strong Champagne depth, island and high-altitude wines, carafes, by-the-glass choices, magnums, a value-led Down to Earth section.

The 2026 Wine List of the Year page on Pearl captures the single official specialist-award winner, Mountain, links that recognition back to a live restaurant profile.
