A complex white Burgundy, majestic Rioja Gran Reserva or silky, bright Pinot Noir wine from one of several key growing regions can all be fantastic choices to drink with turkey.
Classic styles when pairing wine with turkey include:
Basics: what kind of wine goes with turkey?
Turkey is not a very powerful meat and its relatively low fat content means it can dry out quickly during cooking.
Great wine matches with turkey include relatively full-bodied white wines or medium-bodied reds with low-to-medium tannin levels and high acidity.
Turkey’s lack of fat means there is little to dampen down prominent, mouth-coating tannins associated with some younger, bolder red wines.
Bold tannins could eclipse all that hard work in the kitchen. Yet tannins generally soften over time, which is why a few years of bottle age can change the picture.
That said, ‘classic’ styles can vary in the glass according to winemaking decisions and vintage conditions.
Food and wine pairing is also highly subjective. Personal taste is always important, as expert Fiona Beckett recently wrote in defence of the concept.
