Product Information

For deliveries to the USA please note that due to severe restrictions by courier companies, the maximum amount of liquid that can be sent is 75cl per consignment. The key is to think about how sweet your dessert is and make sure that you go for a wine which is slightly sweeter, to keep those flavours in balance. Lyme Bay Christmas Pudding Wine has a delicious warming taste that embodies the character of a classic Christmas Pudding. and in the same way I wonder if it would be improved (and possibly cheaper) by extracting from a christmas pudding recipe the flavours required and leaving out those that aren't (suet, eggs, etc)? Not strictly speaking a pudding wine (it’s medium dry in style) but delicious with puddings nonetheless!

Of course the sweet wine must have good acidity too as that will also stop the combination seeming OTT; the acidity will cut through the sweetness and make the mouth water. Decadence in a bowl, chocolate mousse’s deep flavours need a wine that can stand up to that intensity but also complement the mousse’s light, airy texture. These are beautiful dessert wines to enjoy on their own if you fancy a little drop of something sweet on Christmas Day afternoon, but also make a fantastic pairing with light, creamy desserts and fruity puddings. You would have been far better off using the ingredients of a pudding less those which are not appropriate. Perfect for the lead up to Christmas or for enjoying on the day, this festive wine will make a wonderful gift or treat.With a traditional sherry trifle serve a sweet Sherry ( sweet Oloroso Sherry or Pedro Ximenez) or a botrytised Australian Semillon. Enjoyed at room temperature or gently heated, it is the perfect accompaniment to cold nights and festive gatherings.

Please note that it isn’t always possible to provide a perfect looking bottle/label as this very much depends on the condition they are received in from our supplier.

Once the liquid has cooled you can start filtering it into a clean saucepan using the sieve, muslin and ladle.

You may be surprised that white wines feature prominently in this section but white wine doesn’t have the tannins that clash with the saltiness of many cheeses.

They use their inventive instincts and sense of creativity to push boundaries whilst aiming for the best possible quality in all that they do. As a general rule of thumb, the wine can be slightly sweeter than the dessert (the other way around can make the wine appear to taste bitter) – but, as these wines tend to be at the top of the sweetness scale, they can handle pretty sugary desserts. In the unlikely event of any broken glass we would recommend to leave the broken glass in the box and only extract those bottles that are undamaged. Both styles display notes of caramel, making them ideal with caramelised fruit and tropical fruit-flavoured desserts, such as pineapple upside-down cake or tarte tatin.
