Red · Medium · Dry

Beaujolais

Interesting

Red · Light · Dry

Rioja

Classic

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 Spicy Lamb And Chorizo Chili

The friendly middle ground for Spicy Lamb And Chorizo Chili: Rioja's balance lets the meat lead.

Shiraz

Classic

Red · Full · Dry

Old-vine Shiraz from Barossa or McLaren Vale: dark, peppery, and unembarrassed about its size. Black plum, smoked meat, licorice, and a finish that lingers like the last embers of a grill.

Why it works with Spicy Chorizo Chili

Cut through Spicy Chorizo Chili's fat with Shiraz's grippy tannins; this is the pairing every steakhouse leans on.
