For Turkey roasts Joyce's recommends the Brotte Vacqueyras, available on offer for €19.99 a bottle. This delicious Rhone Valley Wine is made from a blend of syrah and grenache with piquant notes of shaved black pepper, nutmeg and clove. It has juicy blackberry and black cherry notes that are prevalent in this full-bodied red.
Enjoying a beef roast? Joyce's wine recommendation is the Chateaux Belordre de Tetra available for €9.99 This fascinating French blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon that has a beautiful purple tinge, presents with pleasant notes of fresh berries such as blackcurrants and raspberries, as well as luscious honey. It will pair well with a honey or fruit based beef glazed roast.
Salmon always pairs well with a fresh and crisp white. Joyce's recommends the Forte Ambrone Bianco available on offer for only €9.99. This Viognier, Trebbiano and Traminer blended white is an excellent wine, with multi fruit aromas and recognizable pear, apples, peach and melon. It has a delicate minerality and is delectably crispy.
Joyce's recommend the Brotte Crozes Hermitage La Rollande available for €19.99 for your duck roasts. This is a medium red with beautiful acidity complemented with black berries and violet on the nose. Black currant and plum tones are prevalent with a spicy star anise and earthy undertones perfect for a duck roast.
