Lamb
What Wine Goes With Lamb
Our Favourite Pairings
Syrah
– Peppery spice complements roast lamb & grilled chops.
Bordeaux Blends
– Elegant structure pairs beautifully with roast leg of lamb.
Why It Works
Lamb has a rich, distinctive flavour that makes it an ideal partner for full-bodied red wines.
Syrah’s dark fruit, pepper, and savoury notes complement grilled and herb-crusted lamb, while Bordeaux blends bring structure, firm tannins, and complexity to roasted cuts.
Together, they create a balanced and elegant pairing.
BIN 104 Tip:
Traditional seasonings like rosemary, thyme, and garlic make lamb an even better match for Syrah and Bordeaux blends, as the wines share many of the same savoury and herbal flavours.
If you’re serving lamb with mint, fruit chutney, or a sweeter glaze, try a fruit-forward Grenache instead.
