Thanksgiving is all about celebrating abundance, flavor, and family. What better way to elevate your table than with Nova Stella Sauvignon Blanc? Its crisp acidity, notes of citrus, tropical fruit, and fresh herbs make it a versatile partner for both traditional favorites and elevated seasonal dishes.
The Creative Thanksgiving Menu
Starter: Citrus and Fennel Salad with Pomegranate and Goat Cheese
Kick off the meal with a refreshing salad of fennel, orange segments, pomegranate seeds, and crumbled goat cheese. The wine’s bright citrus and herbaceous notes mirror the salad’s freshness while adding a lively balance.
Appetizer: Shrimp and Avocado Ceviche with Grapefruit and Cilantro
Serve a light ceviche with shrimp, avocado, grapefruit, and fresh cilantro. Nova Stella’s acidity enhances the citrusy tang of the dish.
Main Course: Herb-Roasted Turkey with Lemon-Thyme Butter
The turkey takes center stage. Roasted to golden perfection and infused with a fragrant blend of fresh herbs. A lemon-thyme butter adds brightness and depth to the savory dish.
Turkey isn’t your thing? Consider a crown roast instead. This lamb crown roast with Pistachio-Mint sauce is an elegant substitution for the traditional turkey. It will quite literally be the crown of the table.
Side Dish 1: Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Citrus and Toasted Almonds
Bring brightness to your sides with caramelized Brussels sprouts tossed with orange segments and toasted almonds. The citrus pairs beautifully with the Sauvignon Blanc.
Side Dish 2: Couscous with Dried Apricots and Cranberries
Bring a touch of sweetness and texture to the table with fluffy couscous studded with tender dried apricots and tart cranberries. The bright, fruity notes of Nova Stella Sauvignon Blanc complement the natural sweetness of the apricots. It balances the tartness of the cranberries, creating a refreshing, layered bite that keeps the palate lively throughout the meal.
Dessert: Lemon and Blueberry Tart with Almond Crust
Finish with a light, vibrant dessert: a lemon and blueberry tart on an almond crust. The tartness of lemon mirrors the wine’s citrus notes. The sweetness of blueberries creates a bright, celebratory finale.
Ambiance: Crisp, Fresh, and Festive
Set your table with natural textures, autumnal greenery, and soft candlelight. Whether it’s a small gathering or a large feast, let Nova Stella Sauvignon Blanc bring brightness, elegance, and joy to your Thanksgiving table.
