Wine makes youngster scour compound (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lambrusco

'wine' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'youngster scour compound' is the wordplay.
'youngster' becomes 'lamb' (a lamb is a young sheep).
'compound' is an anagram indicator.
'scour' anagrammed gives 'rusco'.
'lamb'+'rusco'='LAMBRUSCO'

'makes' is the link.

(Other definitions for lambrusco that I've seen before include "Medium sweet, semi-sparkling Italian red or white wine" , "Type of Italian wine" , "Sparkling Italian wine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
