Venison ragout with cranberries & red wine shallots

Venison stew with cranberries & red wine shallots is a classic braised dish that goes particularly well in winter with its deep aromas & the fruity note of the cranberries. The long cooking time makes the venison wonderfully tender and combines perfectly with the red wine shallot sauce.
The ideal wine accompaniment? Syrah, Bordeaux or Blaufränkisch bring structure, spice and fruit to harmoniously balance the gamey aroma and cranberries.
➡ A sophisticated winter dish for connoisseurs with the perfect wine pairing! 🍷🦌
