What to drink with roast lamb
Short answer: Syrah or Rioja Reserva. Runner-up: Bordeaux blend.
Why it works
Lamb's gamey sweetness loves peppery, savoury reds.
Lamb's richness and herbs (rosemary, garlic) suit savoury reds. Syrah and Rioja are both classic, as is Cabernet-led Bordeaux.
Quick picks
- Best match: Syrah or Rioja Reserva
- Alternative: Bordeaux blend
- Avoid: very tannic or heavily oaked wines unless the dish is rich red meat.
