If you are starting to think about Christmas both of these wines are worth considering. Medium- to full-bodied Chardonnay goes really well with turkey, as it has plenty of acidity and a creamy texture to match the richness of the turkey and accompaniments. Vegetarians might like to try it alongside cauliflower cheese or vegetable gratins. Chardonnay also makes a great partner for prawns and smoked salmon so you could serve it throughout the meal. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">The Malbec has some tannins and may grate a little alongside the turkey. However, it would go perfectly with roast beef and probably goose and duck too. Vegetarians could drink it alongside roast aubergines or mushrooms. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" alt=\"JOHN WILSON WEEKEND WINE IMAGES 5TH DECEMBER\" class=\"c-image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/S7EHF3TZBNAMLFM2Y52HEZF3KY.jpg\"   width=\"800\" height=\"238\"\/>Santa Rita Gran Reserva Chardonnay 2023, Chile Santa Rita Gran Reserva Chardonnay 2023, Chile13.5%, \u20ac11.99 <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">This wine has plenty of fresh acidity balancing the ripe exotic fruit and a subtle toasty note.
