Food and Wine Matching - Lamb
Overall Winner: Red Bordeaux
Red Bordeaux wines are the perfect accompaniment to Lamb.
Berrys' Own range of Bordeaux wines offer superb value and a great match to Lamb dishes.
Roast Lamb, Kleftiko, Lamb Casserole, Irish Stew: New World Bordeaux equivalents would also work, like Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot blends from : Argentina, Chile, South Africa and Australia
Lamb Kebab or Grilled Lamb Chops : N. Zealand Pinot Noir or Chilean Cabernet Sauv.
Lighter dishes like Lamb Kebab or Grilled Lamb Chops would work well with fruitier New World wines.
Lancashire Hotpot : Lightly oaked whites from Italy or the South-West of France
Lancashire Hotpot is actually quite light-weight for a meat-dish; try it with a lightly oaked, wine like an Italian Chardonnay or similar dry white wine from South-West of France.
Shepherd's Pie: Beaujolais or fruity Vin de Pays Red wines.
Shepheard pie needs a low tannin Red wine with little or no oak influence.
Lamb Kidneys: Barolo, Barbaresco
Lambs Liver: Australian or Chilean Shiraz
Sweetbreads: Chardonnay
When simply sauteed in butter require a light White wine like Italian Chardonnay.
But if they are to be served in a cream sauce then go for more body in the wine: Chilean Chardonnay or a White Burgundy.
