Alex Russell’s Alejandro range of wines, new to Wine Selectors, is really wowing the Panel and his 2014 Montepulciano would be ideal with the lamb. A delicious example of this Italian variety, it’s savoury and ripe yet lively and fresh with a plush core of black fruits and just the right amount of tannic grip to counter the fat in the lamb. It’s a great alternative to lamb’s traditional partner, Cabernet Sauvignon.
