Red Wine to go with Roast Dinner as seen on The Alan Titchmarsh Show
Food & Drink, The Alan Titchmarsh Show Add commentsAlan Titchmarsh cooked up a roast dinner on yesterday’s show, then asked the expert which type of red wine would go best with a traditional sunday roast. First choice was the Poggiotondo Chianti 2007 from Waitrose, lovely ripe plum fruit with clean acidity to deal with the fatty content of the lamb roast.
For roast pork, the wine expert went for the ringbolt cabernet sauvignon 2007 available from Tesco Wine. This Australian red wine is £8.49 per bottle, containing flavours of clove, herb and mulberry to draw out the flavour of the roast pork. The clove and the apple sauce make a great combination.
For roast beef, a red wine from New Zealand was chosen – the Sacred Hill Syrah 2008 from Sainsburys. This was a little tougher than the other 2 and perfect for roast beef with hints of white pepper.
