Shiraz Season Is Here. Your Slow Cook Just Met Its Match.

Bold food deserves a bold red. Bone Dry Shiraz is full-bodied, plush with dark berry and subtle spice — and it still clocks in at less than 1g of sugar per bottle.

Whether you're deep in a Sunday cook-up or keeping it simple on a Tuesday night, we've rounded up five winter recipes that were basically made for this wine. Healthy-ish. Absolutely delicious.

1. Slow Cooker Lamb with Root Vegetables

Set it in the morning, come home to something that smells incredible. Rich, tender lamb needs a wine with enough body to match it — the Shiraz's soft tannins cut through the fat and the dark berry notes play beautifully against the earthy sweetness of the veg. Find the recipe →

2. Mushroom & Lentil Ragu

A plant-based ragu that actually satisfies. Mushrooms are packed with umami, and umami loves a bold red — the Shiraz amplifies the savoury depth of the dish rather than fighting it. Add a splash to the pot while you're at it. Find the recipe →

3. Baked Harissa Salmon

The smoky heat of harissa needs something that can keep up — the Shiraz's spice notes mirror the harissa without overpowering the salmon. It's a pairing that sounds unexpected and tastes like you planned it all along. Find the recipe →

4. Stuffed Capsicums with Quinoa & Feta

The natural sweetness of roasted capsicum softens the Shiraz's tannins, making each sip feel smoother. The salty feta balances it out and keeps things interesting all the way to the bottom of the glass. Find the recipe →

5. Dark Chocolate & Raspberry Pots

Dark chocolate and Shiraz is a classic for a reason — both share deep, bittersweet notes that make each other better. The raspberry cuts through the richness and echoes the berry fruit in the wine. Low sugar on both counts. Find the recipe →
