Matthew Clark Christmas 2024 Guide

Graham Beck Brut Rosé NV, Western Cape, South Africa A delicately pink South African sparkling wine, with crisp acidity and fragrances of raspberries, cherries and lavender. The combination of bright acidity and red fruit flavours in this sparkling rosé works well with turkey or traditional Thanksgiving flavours, especially if your meal includes cranberry sauce.

Baigorri Rioja Barrel Fermented Blanco, Rioja, Spain Fermented and aged on lees in new French oak barrels with regular batonnage, this full-bodied white Rioja is very complex, elegant and creamy and can stand up to the rich flavours of the roast turkey and all the delicious trimmings, without overpowering the meat itself.

While it’s the traditional hero of a Christmas dinner in many countries, a juicy roast turkey in the USA is the highlight of Thanksgiving celebrations. Served with all the trimmings and some great wine, of course!

Columbia Crest Grand Estates Chardonnay, Washington State, USA Crafted in a fresh, soft style with juicy citrus and apple fruit character, this Chardonnay from Washington State has subtle spice and oak nuances that can bring out the more complex flavours and textures of the turkey, especially with traditional sides like bread sauce.

Yealands Estate Single Vineyard Pinot Noir,

Marlborough, New Zealand

Bright, ruby hued wine with aromas of black cherry, violets and spices. A fleshy palate with notes of plum and spice and silky tannins, this Pinot Noir is light enough not to overpower the turkey and goes brilliantly with fruity stuffing and cranberry sauce.
