No-fuss shepherd’s pie with Shroud Mountain Cabernet
Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon, with its ripe blackcurrant fruit and leather notes, is an excellent fit with the rich lamb in shepherd’s pie. This exuberant Californian bottle is laden with ripe fruit, subtle spice and vanilla.
Cauliflower cheese with Les Champs de Etoiles Pinot Noir
There are two ways to go with cauli cheese: lean into the rich flavours with a buttery Chardonnay, or do the opposite with something to refresh. For the latter, try this zingy French Pinot Noir, which you can serve cool for maximum contrast.
