Dewaldt Heyns Weathered Hands Chenin Blanc 2010, Swartland, South Africa (£19.99, Selfridges nationwide)
TASTE gets into the festive spirit and selects the best wines to accompany your Christmas turkey dinner:
- Dewaldt Heyns Weathered Hands Chenin Blanc 2010, Swartland, South Africa (£19.99, Selfridges nationwide) An elegant and stylish chenin blanc that’s creamy and rich with a hint of hazelnut and apricot and vanilla flavours mingling with baked apple. This is a divine match with bronzed turkey.
- Yalumba Old Bush Vine Grenache 2011, Barossa, Australia (£10.99 from £13.99, when you buy two, Majestic) The Australian answer to a French or New Zealand pinot noir, cited as the best red wine match with turkey, this gorgeous grenache is smooth and silky with lush cherries, sweet plums and a whisper of spice on the fruity finish.
- Craggy Range Te Muna Pinot Noir 2011, Martinborough, New Zealand (£22.50, Majestic) An impeccably smooth pinot noir that offers a symphony of sweet black cherries, cassis and soft aromatic fruit flavours.
