For roast lamb with chilli and lime, look for freshness and softer tannin, with alcohol low enough to avoid amplifying the chilli. The chilli and lime can change the choice as much as the main ingredient.
Chilli can make alcohol feel warmer and tannin more severe. For roast lamb with chilli and lime, compare lower-alcohol wines with softer tannins. A little sweetness may help if your version is especially hot.
Look for acidity to balance the richer elements, including the chilli and lime. The wine also needs enough body to remain noticeable alongside the food.
Savoury ingredients can bring out bitterness and drying tannin in a wine. A supple red or a textured white is worth considering here, particularly when mushrooms or vegetables are central to your recipe.
