Christmas Day Pairing Case

The Christmas Day Pairing Case features wines to pair perfectly with your festive feasts.

2x Southend Chardonnay 2020, Newton Johnson, WO Upper Hemel-en-Aarde – This delicious Chardonnay has a lemony freshness and poise, with a textured mineral palate. It has a lovely balance and complexity. It will pair well with seafood starters, vegetarian mains, or of course Roasted Turkey.

2x Pinot Noir 2019, Botanica, Western Cape – A delicate style with layers of bright strawberry and wild raspberries on the pallet with a hint of spice on the nose. This wine has a good acidity, showing a floral lift on the finish. It will pair deliciously with the main dish of the day, Roasted Turkey or it’s vegan alternative Nut Roast.

1x Henriot Brut Souverain NV, Reims – Notes of brioche with fresh citrus fruits with an abundance of red and stone fruits. On the palate, it is ample, straightforward, round with a long, persistent freshness. Because Christmas Day is the perfect time for Champagne, a great pairing to toast the festive season.

1x Château Sigalas-Rabaud, Sauternes, 1er Cru Classé 2018, Sauternes (37.5cl) – Lifted notes of dried mangoes, apricots, and orange peel, all of which work in concert to create a delightful flavour profile. This is a fantastic alternative to the traditional port, the dried fruit notes will complement Christmas Pudding and can even work well with cheese boards.
