When it comes to pairing festive foods with sparkling wine, Christmas is the ultimate time to indulge. From decadent roasts to celebratory toasts, nothing makes your celebrations shine brighter than a luxury sparkling wine. Searching for the best sparkling wine for Christmas dinner or an impressive party toast? Our guide to sensational Christmas sparkling wine pairings will bring your festive feasts and flavours to life.
Whether you’re going poultry or planted-based, your Christmas Day roast will reach new heights served with a new Ridgeview wine we’re very excited about. Fresh from the cellar, our 2016 Blanc de Noirs is a phenomenal showcase of a golden vintage for English Pinot Noir.Â
It’s so complex, with a backbone of big, bold red-fruit flavours that pair to perfection with Christmas roasts, brimming with trimmings. But it also has the finesse and poise to complement lighter dishes like seafood starters. Open a bottle at the start of Christmas dinner and you’ll still be finding new flavours in the glass by the time the cheese board comes round. A veritable Christmas treat.

One Christmas tradition we love is catching up with friends and family over a cosy evening by the fire, complete with nibbles and wine. A smorgasbord of Sussex cheese and charcuterie is our go-to, paired with a bottle of our Sparkling Red Reserve or Oak Reserve. These pioneering wines are real conversation pieces, lovingly made in small batches to turn heads, delight palates and make fireside festive foods sing.Â
Sparkling Red Reserve pours like a glimmering glass of rubies and tastes of pomegranate, forest fruits and sweet peppery spice. It’s a spectacular alternative to port with cheese, particularly of the blue variety.
Oak Reserve is a decadent wine, showcasing all the virtues of its extended oak aging. Packed with spiced fruit, vanilla and opulent buttery notes, it marries up beautifully with charcuterie, sweet treats and finger foods like caramelised onion tartlets.Â
