Wine with lamb
South African wines are ideal with lamb dishes. A strong Cabernet Sauvignon harmonises perfectly with lamb chops, its deep fruity notes emphasising the intense flavour of the meat. An elegant Merlot goes perfectly with leg of lamb and roast lamb, while a spicy Shiraz harmonises wonderfully with grilled lamb with herbs. These wines bring out the full flavour of lamb dishes and make every meal a special experience.
