Which wines shouldn’t be missing from your Christmas dinner?
Christmas dinners are a puzzle of people and tastes. This not only affects the composition of the menu for the evening, but also the wines that will accompany us throughout the celebration. When choosing them, we must consider not only the dishes being served, but also the preferences of each guest. A balance that needs to be handled carefully to avoid unnecessary stress.
At WINERYON, we want to help you create your Christmas wine selection in the best possible way, which is why we have put together a list of tips on what should never be missing from such a special dinner.
Christmas dinner wines 1: Young red wines for starters
Not all guests arrive at a dinner at the same time. However, this is not a problem, as staggered arrivals make it easier to share a few moments beforehand with appetisers and a glass of good wine.
In this case, we recommend our DEMUERTE CLASSIC, a wine that reaches your table after nine months of ageing in French oak barrels to give the very best of itself. There is no better introduction than its intense violet-red colour and its aroma of black and red fruit with hints of vanilla.
Another excellent option is our DEMUERTE ONE, an intense cherry-red wine with a rich, sweet aroma reminiscent of ripe red fruit, complemented by spicy nuances and subtle toasted notes.
Christmas dinner wines 2: Characterful reds for the main course
It is customary for Christmas tables to feature meat dishes, which is why, once everyone is seated and ready to enjoy a hearty stew, we suggest changing the style of wine. From WINERYON, we recommend our DEMUERTE GOLD (intense cherry-red with garnet edges and aromas of spices such as pepper, clove and nutmeg); DEMUERTE DELUXE (a velvety, smooth wine with aromas of ripe red fruit on a base of smoke and spices); or our DEMUERTE BLACK, a true celebration for the senses, especially when paired with venison.
Christmas dinner wines 3: Whites for those who choose fish or salads
We are aware that some tables opt for seafood as the main course. For these occasions, we recommend smooth red wines (such as DEMUERTE ONE), but especially our DEMUERTE WHITE. Its pale straw colour shines like no other wine from Yecla. This modern wine offers aromas of fruit and white flowers, evoking peaches in syrup, apricots and citrus fruits. All of this is achieved with a touch of fresh acidity, a light yet creamy mouthfeel, and a well-structured body with a long finish featuring notes of white fruit and herbs.
Christmas dinner wines 4: Rosés for rice and pasta dishes
Ideal for pasta dishes and for those who choose rice, our DEMUERTE ROSÉ is a Provençal-style rosé, crystal clear and bright, showing salmon-coloured reflections in the glass. It is a wine with a delicate floral and herbaceous aroma, with intense notes of strawberry and cherry. The perfect pairing for dishes richer in carbohydrates and lower in protein.
Christmas dinner wines 5: Sparkling wines for toasts
And since Christmas would not be complete without a toast, there is nothing better than doing so with our DEMUERTE CAVA. A unique and very special wine that fills our glasses with bubbles and bursts on the palate with unmatched joy.
DEMUERTE: an unfailing collection
As you can see, DEMUERTE wines make up a broad selection that never disappoints. Wines crafted with care and quality ingredients that pair perfectly with all kinds of dishes and celebrations. And as the festivities that close out the year approach, we would not want to miss the opportunity to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.
