Lyme Bay Christmas Pudding Wine 75cl

Product Information

Keep on top of the racking process, the suet used in the Christmas pudding does continue to drop for quite some time and can cause off flavours if left. Sweet wine and sweet food pairings can easily be off-key if you don’t get the balance right, so choosing your moment to serve a super sweet wine requires more thought than if you were serving a lighter wine. The Fonseca Quinta do Panascal is a Reserve Ruby that’s seen a little ageing, displaying notes of rich plum fruit and sweet spice that would go beautifully with a dark chocolate torte.

Instead, pick a red wine with notes of dark chocolate that can hold its own against the bold espresso and cocoa flavours like an Argentinian Malbec or a Tawny Port.

Lyme Bay Christmas Pudding Wine is a deliciously warming wine that embodies the character of a classic Christmas pudding. And of course there is always dessert wine like Sauternes which will pair well with most desserts and – perhaps more surprisingly – with blue cheeses like Roquefort (and with foie gras for those with a preference for more savoury dishes).

Rich, luscious and honey-like, with aromas of spiced apple strudel, candied apricots and a citrus core, this wine is absolutely divine. Luscious and honeyed yet crisp, it’s perfectly balanced and a cracking pairing for fruity cheesecakes and soufflés. For some products supply can be inconsistent, whether that is at the brewery itself or how often we or its supplier imports it. Please note, we are currently only able to deliver to UK addresses, including Northern Ireland and British Isles of Jersey and Guernsey.

When it comes to those luxury after-dinner milk and dark chocolate truffles, port is the ultimate wine to serve. People often stick to the red wine they have been drinking with their main course when they get to their dessert but this is in most cases a mistake as they soon find out. Your go-to Christmas pudding wine here is a fortified wine such as a Port or a Pedro Ximinéz Sherry. With a traditional sherry trifle serve a sweet Sherry ( sweet Oloroso Sherry or Pedro Ximenez) or a botrytised Australian Semillon.As a general rule of thumb, the wine can be slightly sweeter than the dessert (the other way around can make the wine appear to taste bitter) – but, as these wines tend to be at the top of the sweetness scale, they can handle pretty sugary desserts.

Cold desserts might be best with chilled dessert wines, whereas warm or hot pudding can be served with room-temperature or slightly chilled wines.If you opt for Port, choose a nutty Tawny like Andresen Royal Choice 20-Year-Old Tawny Port – one of the best wines for Christmas pudding to try this year. They use their inventive instincts and sense of creativity to push boundaries whilst aiming for the best possible quality in all that they do. So, pour a glass to sip alongside a slice of traditional German Christmas Stollen or marzipan-coated Christmas Cake.
