While many associate the holiday with chocolate, thanks in no small part to Easter eggs, there\u2019s a specific type of meat that also goes down a storm during Easter.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re talking, of course, about roast lamb. Lamb is a staple of the Easter feast in many countries and it\u2019s one of the world\u2019s most popular meats. Even if you don\u2019t eat it during Easter, it\u2019s likely that you\u2019ll have a few roast lamb dinners at various points during the year.<\/p>\n<p>So that got us to thinking \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.xtrawine.com\/en\/white-lamb-ragu-a-recipe\/\">which wines work best with roast lamb?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve racked our brains and come with a selection of Italian wines, plus a few from other territories, that we think everybody should have on the table whenever they\u2019re eating roast lamb.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rioja<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll start with a Spanish wine to kick things off. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/collections\/rioja\">good Rioja<\/a> has enough complexity to meld well with the unique flavours that you\u2019ll find in lamb and it\u2019s a mainstay in Spain.<\/p>\n<p>Rioja works best when combined with milk fed lamb. The tenderness of the meat really meshes beautifully with the wine.<\/p>\n<p>We recommend allowing the Rioja to mature for a couple of years if you really want the best experience. After all, you\u2019re looking for a wine that\u2019s capable of tackling some really rich flavours, so you have to give it some time to get up to the right level.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cabernet Sauvignon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>How you cook your lamb also has an effect on the wines that work best with it. A rare<!--more--> lamb chop goes better with something complex due to the rich flavours involved.<\/p>\n<p>But what if you like your lamb done medium or well done.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where wines with a heavy Cabernet Sauvignon influence can help. Though an interesting grape, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en\/products?search=cabernet%20sauvignon\">Cabernet Sauvignon<\/a> is also extremely versatile. When used as a standalone grape, it\u2019s the perfect wine to combine with the typically less tender cuts of lamb you get when you cook it well.<\/p>\n<p>Any Italian wine with a large volume of Cabernet Sauvignon works here, as the wine\u2019s tannins essentially act like a tenderising agent for the meat. You\u2019ll get all of the texture of rare lamb with less of the juiciness and blood.<\/p>\n<p>We recommend going for a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon wine for the best experience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chianti<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What better than one of the most famous Italian wines for a truly Italian dish?<\/p>\n<p>Many Italians enjoy their lamb served in the costolette d\u2019agnello style, which means that it\u2019s sliced directly from the lamb\u2019s rack of ribs.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an extremely rich and tender version of the meat that will overwhelm the vast majority of wines.<\/p>\n<p>Not Chianti though. This most <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.xtrawine.com\/en\/the-awesome-easter-italian-wines-you-should-try-from-xtrawine-today\/\">famous of Italian wines<\/a> has all of the power you need from a wine that has to mesh well with some really rich flavours. There\u2019s also so many varieties to choose from. We recommend a Classico over one of the Super Tuscans, as the more intricate and less fruity flavours go particularly well with this sweet lamb cut.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an added tip. Squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over your lamb to take some of the richness out of it. You\u2019ll get an extra tinge when you eat, plus your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/search?q=chianti\">Chianti<\/a> will go even better with the cut of meat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bordeaux<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s assume that you\u2019re roasting lamb for a large group of people. You need to keep things fairly simple because you\u2019re catering for a lot of different tastes. As a result, you can\u2019t cook it rare, as there will probably be people who hate eating that type of meat. You also can\u2019t cook it well for the same reason. You have to go down the middle, which means you need a versatile wine that can really exaggerate and complement the flavours in the lamb.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/search?q=bordeaux\">Bordeaux<\/a> comes in. This famous French wine has long been popular because of its combination of unique flavours and accessibility. It\u2019s also a fruity wine, which adds a little extra kick to a roast lamb that doesn\u2019t have too much going on.<\/p>\n<p>We recommended going for a younger version of the wine if you\u2019re serving it with lamb. This ensures that it maintains a lot of the fruitiness that makes it a great complement to the food.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rh\u00f4ne<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Then, there\u2019s the other end of the scale. Perhaps you\u2019re slow roasting your lamb over a number of hours. A nice shoulder joint contains a lot of rich and fatty meat, so you have a few more flavours to contend with.<\/p>\n<p>A more mature Bordeaux will do the trick, but why not try a Rh\u00f4ne instead? Another French wine, this has a slightly more gamey quality to it, which means it\u2019s more than capable of dealing with more complex and fatty flavours.<\/p>\n<p>However, you should avoid the wines that carry the C\u00f4tes du Rh\u00f4ne Villages appellation. While decent as table wines, they\u2019re also fairly mild when compared to other wines that come from the region. You want something with a little kick to it if you\u2019re going to drink a wine that actually complements the meat. C\u00f4tes du Rh\u00f4ne Villages wines are more like table wines that you can serve with almost anything. They\u2019re versatile, but they don\u2019t provide the best lamb-eating experience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Final Word<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Just writing this article has gotten us in the mood for a nice roast lamb dinner. The succulent flavours of the meat express themselves in different ways, depending on how you cook it. Your job is to find a wine that matches the particular cooking style that you use.<\/p>\n<p>Our suggestions are a good starting point, with each making for an excellent complement to most lamb dishes. Of course, we always encourage you to experiment. Try one of the wines on this list and then look around for wines with similar qualities. You may find a few vintages that work well with lamb that we haven\u2019t even considered.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now that Christmas has come and gone, we can all start looking forward to the holidays that the rest of the year has to offer.
