2022 Black Cockatoo Shiraz

Full-bodied and deeply plush, this Shiraz is all about intensity and smooth power. Ripe blackberry jam and black plum roll across the palate with luxurious richness, while notes of dark chocolate and cocoa nib add warmth and depth.

A subtle touch of eucalyptus brings a cooling lift—an unmistakable hallmark of Australian terroir—balancing the wine’s bold fruit core. The tannins are velvety and well-integrated, leading to a finish that’s long, round, and deeply satisfying. A serious crowd-pleaser for lovers of big, generous reds.

Lamb Chops with Mint Gremolata

Lamb chops bring a rich, savory depth that just begs for something bright alongside it — and that’s where the mint gremolata comes in. Fresh herbs, lemon zest, and garlic cut through the richness beautifully, turning this into a dish that feels both comforting and elegant. Paired with our 2022 Black Cockatoo Shiraz, the flavors hit perfect harmony: the wine’s dark berry richness, hint of chocolate, and subtle eucalyptus echo both the lamb’s savoriness and the mint’s cool lift.

Ingredients

  • 8 lamb chops (or 4 double-cut)
  • Salt & black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 1–2 sprigs fresh rosemary (optional but recommended)
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, very finely minced
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1–2 tbsp olive oil
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine parsley, mint, garlic, and lemon zest.
  2. Drizzle in olive oil until it just comes together.
  3. Season with a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  4. Pat lamb chops dry. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Add lamb chops and sear 3–4 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
  7. Add butter, garlic cloves, and rosemary to the pan.
  8. Tilt the pan and spoon the melted butter over the chops for 1–2 minutes to finish.
  9. Remove from heat and let the lamb rest for 5 minutes.
  10. Spoon mint gremolata generously over the top just before serving.
