Sparkling · Light · Dry
Spain's traditional-method sparkling, made in Catalunya. Crisper and chalkier than Prosecco; remarkable value next to Champagne. Pair with jamón, tortilla, and grilled vegetables.
White · Medium · Dry
The most-planted white grape and the most chameleon-like. Crisp and steely from Chablis; rich, oaky, and tropical from California. Read the label, then match the style to the dish.
Red · Light · Dry
Burgundy's most temperamental grape, but the rewards are real — translucent ruby with a perfumed lift of red cherry, forest floor, and clove. Silken tannins and bright acid make it the most versatile red on the table; serve cool, around 58°F.
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.
Red · Full · Dry
The benchmark for full-bodied red — structured, age-worthy, unapologetic. Black currant, graphite, and tobacco lead into firm tannins that demand protein on the plate. Decant young bottles; cellar the serious ones.
Why it works with Lamb Kofta
Cab handles lamb's gaminess with tannic grip and dark fruit.
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.
Why it works with Lamb Kofta
Grenache's warm fruit echoes lamb's natural sweetness, especially in Mediterranean preparations.
Red · Full · Dry
Argentina's signature grape: deep purple, plummy, and remarkably smooth for its weight. Soft tannins and a touch of cocoa make it the dinner-party Cabernet alternative — and far easier on the wallet.
Why it works with Lamb Kofta
Plummy Malbec with grippy tannin pairs classically with red meat.
Red · Full · Dry
The grape behind Barolo and Barbaresco — pale ruby in the glass but ferocious on the palate. Rose, tar, dried cherry, and tannins that need time. Old-school greatness.
Why it works with Deep Fried Kofta Of Feta
Nebbiolo's tannins meet Deep Fried Kofta Of Feta's richness — the classic move for hard, aged cheeses.
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 Lamb Kofta
Aged Rioja is the Iberian lamb pairing — cedar, leather, and bright acid.
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.
Why it works with Lamb Kofta
Syrah's pepper and dark fruit are made for lamb — Rhône or northern New World, take your pick.
White · Medium · Dry
The most-planted white grape and the most chameleon-like. Crisp and steely from Chablis; rich, oaky, and tropical from California. Read the label, then match the style to the dish.
Why it works with Feta And Vegetable Kofta With Indian Spiced Relish
Whites are often underrated with cheese — Whitlands Chardonnay's lift makes Feta And Vegetable Kofta With Indian Spiced Relish feel less heavy.
