FROM THE GRILL

Grilled beef with roasted peppers

The beef suits the full feel, while the peppers meet the savoury paprika note.

SUNDAY SUPPER

Lamb shoulder with lentils

A rich, slow-cooked dish gives the dried-plum and berry flavours room to show.

FOR SHARING

Mature hard cheese with walnuts

Firm, savoury cheese gives this full red enough flavour to work with.

Also good

Lentils with roasted peppers pick up the savoury paprika beside the dried-plum fruit.

Skip

Plain steamed sole is too gentle for this full red’s dried-plum and paprika flavours.

Serve at

16–18 °C
