Where mushroom dominates, the rich umami is suited to savoury reds, as it brings out the fruit. For a butternut roast, where the flesh of the vegetable adds a certain sweetness, and the use of spice is common, zippy white wines and light, savoury reds are best. Last but not least, where nuts themselves are used, the dish develops a distinct sweetness that is best suited to aromatic white wines which will cut through the rich flavours of the dish. If you prefer to serve red with your nut roast, Amarone will have the weight, intensity and a hint of balancing sweetness to pair beautifully!\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.friarwood.com\/pages\/christmas-pairings\"\u003eClick here to go back\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"2010-domaine-loic-mahe-savennieres-equilibre","title":"Domaine Loic Mahe, 'Equilibre' Savennieres, 2010","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE WINE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaving worked as a consultant for other wineries, Brittany-born Loïc couldn't wait to start his own, and so in 2011 he purchased 11 hectares spread between Savennières and La Franchaie, Certified organic and non-interventionist, Loïc prefers to let the effects of the seasons and terroir dominate the character of his wines.
