Leslie Williams: Spanish wines to match lamb

Easter is almost upon us and many of us will be preparing traditional roast lamb.

Spring lamb has such a delicate flavour that you are probably rightly thinking about serving elegant old Bordeaux or perhaps reserva or Gran Reserva Rioja. Excellent choices, but remember that lamb is the most commonly eaten meat in Spain and local lamb is served with local wines from Catalonia to Valencia to Castilla Y Leon so this week I have a mini-focus on some lesser known Spanish reds all of which match lamb.
