Lyme Bay Christmas Pudding Wine 75cl

Product Information

Perfect for the lead up to Christmas or for enjoying on the day, this festive wine will make a wonderful gift or treat. Try the Tenuta Olim Bauda Moscato d’Asti Centive, which also pairs very nicely with fudge, trifle (a simple, non-alcoholic one) and panettone. From figgy pudding and Christmas cake to yule logs and mince pies, there’s a dessert wine to suit any sweet treat your heart desires. An autumnal favourite, an apple pie combines a delicious blend of stewed apples and sweet spices encased in a buttery, crumbly pastry.

They tend to combine fresh and fruity flavours with warm spices, chocolate and raisins which complement Christmas Pudding.Sparkling Moscato is a great all-rounder as it’s light enough for a morning toast, an ideal aperitif to accompany party snacks and sweet nibbles, and a thirst-quenching pairing for many popular puddings. 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.

Please be aware that even if the label looks different, that product will be the same product if it has the same barcode. A particularly fine Sparkling, beautifully clear liquid with very smooth mousse and a zesty lemon and cooked apple flavour. Glasses and other items have no restrictions but please be aware these are packaged very well to avoid breakages, so postage can be high. These are beautiful dessert wines to enjoy on their own if you fancy a little drop of something sweet on Christmas Day afternoon, but also make a fantastic pairing with light, creamy desserts and fruity puddings. Once the liquid has cooled enough for you to able to easily handle it without gloves, you can add the liquid to you Demijohn using your sterilised funnel.Fortified wines also work a treat as they have enough oomph to stand up to the richness of either chocolate or Christmas pudding – or both if you really want to push the boat out. It also makes a great gift for a wine lover who enjoys eating Christmas pudding during the festive period.

The combination of the nutty flavours of the port match perfectly with the dried fruits and nuts of mince pies (and Christmas Pudding). Continue ferment under airlock and feed with 4 oz of sugar every few days until the alcohol tolerance of the yeast has been reached. Due to their richness and dense body, these Christmas dessert wines are best enjoyed as an after-dinner tipple rather than before you sit down for a big meal.Vin Doux Naturel – like port, VDNs are fortified with spirit to stop fermentation before all the sugar has converted into alcohol. When it comes to those luxury after-dinner milk and dark chocolate truffles, port is the ultimate wine to serve.
