Pairing guide
We’ve no doubt that you’ll love this gorgeous Shiraz every bit as much as we did - all that depth of flavour and boldness is truly hard to resist. It’s a versatile bottle, too; you’ll find it matches up beautifully with hearty homemade classics like sausage casserole, meatballs with a rich savoury sauce, roast beef or lamb, lentil or black bean stews, cheesy mushrooms and family favourites like cottage pie or lasagna. Barbecue dishes and Shiraz are never a bad idea to bring together, so feel free to bring out the sticky ribs, beef burgers and lamb chops and get grilling!
