Wines for Roast Pork

Make Sunday lunch a celebration of crisp crackling, tender pork and all your favourite trimmings. Whether you’re adding a spoonful of apple sauce or letting the roasting juices do the talking, give the wine a place at the heart of the meal.

Chenin Blanc is a lovely choice with apple sauce: its apple, pear and citrus flavours complement the pork and its fruity accompaniment. For particularly rich roast pork belly, Riesling offers the bright acidity needed to refresh the palate, with a slightly off-dry style bringing a welcome touch of sweetness. If you prefer red, choose a fresh, fruit-led Pinot Noir: its cherry and raspberry character, lighter body and lively acidity complement the savoury meat without overpowering it
