Wine and food matching

Some pointers to help you match wines from our shop with food for special dinners (such as Christmas dinner).

Turkey, Duck, Quail, Goose and Guinea Fowl

Duck, Goose, Quail, Guinea Fowl and Turkey are all quite flavoursome for farmed fowl and can cope with more powerfully flavoured wines than those chosen to complement chicken. A Pinot Noir, especially from Burgundy, will match the slight gameyness of these birds. Alternatively if a white wine is preferred a full-bodied Chardonnay is the most reliable partner.
