Great question, Sarah. For a slow-roasted lamb shoulder, you want something with enough body to match the richness but not so tannic that it overwhelms the tender meat. My top pick would be a Heathcote Shiraz. Try the Jasper Hill Georgia's Paddock if you can get it. The earthy, peppery character works beautifully with lamb. If you're after something more affordable, a Grenache from McLaren Vale (like the d'Arenberg Custodian) is a brilliant match. Serve it at cellar temperature, not room temperature, around 16-18°C. The lamb deserves it.
