Wine for lamb dishes is a type of wine that is ideally combined with dishes such as roasts, grills, stews, kebabs, moussakas and lamb in sauce. It is usually a full-bodied red wine, such as a Syrah, Grenache, Côtes du Rhône, Bordeaux or Zinfandel that can accompany the intense flavors and aromas of lamb dishes. It is important to choose a wine for lamb dishes that has a good balance of acidity, tannins and sugar to maximize the taste of the dishes. Full-bodied, tannic red wines are particularly popular with grilled or sauced lamb dishes.
