Description
A Tagine is a stew made in a conical cooking pot
Tagine is both the name of the stew and of the pot made of clay or ceramic.
The clay/ceramic impart earthy nuances to the dishes.
The traditional Berber and North African dishes are slowly simmered to retain the flavors.
Lamb Tagines come with dried fruits like prunes, apricot and figs.
That's why you need some concentration, sun ripened black grapes and some oak too.
Best wines to pair come from Morocco, Spain, Lebanon and Southern Italy.
Go Local
Make it a habit to eat and drink local. Expand your skills to understand the passion that wine communicates. Explore the range of possibilities a grape can express through culture, terroir, and climate.
