It is difficult to find a single wine that works for the entire Christmas dinner. It is the preparations of the menu together with the preferences of the diners that will dictate the verdict. These are some options for traditional menus and others more avant-garde.
Whether for a traditional dinner with a turkey as the main dish, a seafood feast or a vegetarian menu, the truth is that the long-awaited Christmas Eve dinner is much better when served with a good wine. For those who have doubts about what to choose, these are some suggestions that never fail.
For the appetizer, when it comes to canapés that include seafood such as smoked salmon or prawns, Marques de Casa Concha Chardonnay is an excellent choice. With aromas of ripe white fruit such as pear and with its exquisite minerality, this wine is also perfect to accompany the traditional Stuffed turkey, apple puree and delicious creamed potatoes. The great virtue of light wines is that they can pair with a greater variety of foods.
A Chardonnay always goes well with white or oily fish, whether baked or grilled. Or it can also work with fresh preparations based on raw vegetables, or those with a lot of cheese or cream.
When red meats appear at Christmas dinner, it is necessary to choose wines with greater volume in the mouth such as Marques de Casa Concha Carmenère or Marques de Casa Concha Cabernet Sauvignon, an ideal option to pair with dishes such as Roast Beef or Steak with black pepper sauce.
