Lamb Shank With Jacob’s Creek Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

Submitted by SimpleRecipe

"Saltmarsh lamb from the Holker Estate in Cumbria is naturally reared on the Salt Marshes and grazes on the local heather – the sweetness from the heather and saltiness from the water imparts delicious flavour to the meat"
