Christmas Trend Alert: Try English Pink Wine With Your Turkey and Cranberry Sauce

Pink & Co co-founder Clem Yates is the only female Master of Wine based in the UK specialising in English rosé and has 20 years experience making wine for big brands such as Waitrose, Aldi, Sainsbury’s and Majestic Wine. She also has a degree in Chemistry and Oenology, which is the study and science of winemaking.

With her scientific background, Clem explains why their English Pink rosé is the perfect match for a traditional Christmas turkey with cranberry sauce: “Basically, you need to look at the pH scale measure of acidity which ranges from 1 to 14 - the lower the pH, the higher the acidity. Cranberry sauce is acidic with a pH around the 3.5 mark, and our English Pink wine matches up to that with a pH of 3.30.

“Acidic foods can be tricky to pair with wines because the acidity can actually make the wine taste bitter, sour or flat. However, if you choose a wine with a high acidity, like our English Pink rosé, it provides a counterbalance to foods like cranberry sauce. A high acid wine also cuts through rich, fatty foods, refreshing your palette - making this wine the perfect pairing for decadent Christmas fare.”

British rosé brand Pink & Co has created a luxurious dry rosé wine, English Pink - the perfect accompaniment to the ubiquitous cranberry sauce served alongside your traditional turkey.

The reason Pink & Co’s rosé has a high acidity is because of the cooler grape growing climate found in England. 

More information about English Pink:

Originating from vineyards in the South of England, English Pink is a vegan-friendly Provence-style rosé with a very pale pink colour and an alcohol volume of 12%. The tasting notes are; delicate strawberry fruit with a concentrated palate, lovely fresh acidity and great length.

Savyll's created the perfect stocking filler gift this Christmas - their beautifully presented Collection Pack allows you to explore the full range of sophisticated flavours mentioned above.

Born in the melting-pot of London, Savyll was created by Avnish Babla. Avnish's vision was to create a range of premium non-alcoholic cocktails that drew inspiration from their traditional alcoholic counterparts. The brand has listings with the likes of Whole Foods, David Lloyd, Ocado and Warner Hotels.

Avnish said: "Mocktails have been around for quite some time, but they often come across as bright, loud, and full of sugar. We wanted to create a brand that conveyed classic sophistication, and appealed to a more discerning consumer.

“We have a significant number of customers who, due to health or cultural reasons, don't want to drink alcohol - but they want something more high-end and palatable than just a simple juice or soda. If you serve Savyll's range of cocktails to your AF guests this Christmas, they're sure to be wowed.”

The Savyll Collection Pack can be purchased on the website. It can either be bought as four 250ml cans for £10 or 12-can packs for £25. To find out more, visit www.savyll.com.
