Red · Medium · Dry
The grape that puts the warmth in southern French reds — strawberry, raspberry, white pepper, and a finish that's all sun and stones. The backbone of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and rosé from Provence.

Warm Grenache complements grilled lamb, kebabs, and spiced rice.
Red · Medium · Dry
Tempranillo-based blend from northern Spain, traditionally oak-aged into something quietly profound. Cherry, dill, vanilla, leather; great with lamb, paella, and aged Manchego.
Why it works with Lebanese Lamb Kebab
Aged Rioja is the Iberian lamb pairing — cedar, leather, and bright acid.
Rosé · Light · Dry
Provence's gift to summer — dry, pale, faintly strawberry-and-citrus, with low alcohol and crisp acid. Made to drink cold, with food, in the shade.
Why it works with Lebanese Lamb Kebab
Dry rosé is the workhorse for Lebanese mezze, shawarma, and hummus-and-flatbread spreads.
White · Light · Dry
Citrus, cut grass, and a wire of acid. Marlborough makes it loudest; Sancerre makes it most refined. Either way, it cuts cleanly through goat cheese, herbs, and anything with shellfish.
Why it works with Lebanese Lamb Kebab
Crisp herbal white meets the parsley, mint, and lemon backbone of Middle Eastern cooking.
Red · Full · Dry
Shiraz's more reserved European cousin — Northern Rhône style, all violets, black olive, and white pepper. Less brawn, more poise; pairs as well with lamb as with peppered duck breast.
