Using rustic flavours, these arancini will highlight the Claret’s velvety tannins and earthy nuances, taking just minutes to whip up! Perfect for a party appetizer, Coppola Claret will shine bright all night long.

Coppola Cabernet Sauvignon & Marrakesh Lamb

For the main feast, why not wow your guests with this recipe for Marrakesh Lamb, inspired by a classic Moroccan lamb tajine. Accompanied by a glass of The Diamond Collection’s Cab Sauv? Now we’re talking big and bold flavours.

Using a variety of spices like turmeric, coriander, and fennel, the slow-cooked lamb picks up on the Cab Sauv’s energetic aromas and intense finish. With notes of fresh fruits, baking spices, and vanilla, this dry Cab Sauv cuts through the noise and amplifies the lamb’s tender juiciness.
