Wines for Nut Roast

Give the nut roast its moment at the centre of the table, surrounded by golden potatoes, seasonal vegetables and a generous jug of gravy. Whether your recipe is a family favourite or a new Sunday tradition, make the wine just as much a part of the occasion.

For a mushroom-rich roast, choose a Pinot Noir with enough body: its earthy character complements the mushrooms, while bright fruit, fresh acidity and gentle tannins offer contrast without taking over. With roasted root vegetables and herbs, Grenache brings ripe fruit, soft tannins and warming spice, while a Grenache–Syrah blend has the depth for a more intensely savoury recipe. For a white alternative, lightly oaked Chardonnay offers texture and a sympathetic match for a mushroom-based roast, especially with mushroom gravy.
