'Besides the obvious richness of this dish, the key elements are its earthy, smoky flavours and the tangy sweetness of the molasses. The best wines for this dish are those with bright acidity, supple tannins and vibrant fruit to balance the sweetness without overwhelming the delicate texture of the aubergine. Luzador is an inspired match. Its juicy black cherry and pomegranate fruit provides a fresh counterpoint to the sticky sweet-sour molasses, while the wine's lively acidity cuts through the richness of the fried aubergine. Herbal notes of dried thyme and juniper, together with subtle peppery spice and an earthy core, mirror the savoury, garlicky character of the dish beautifully. Gentle tannins give the wine enough structure to stand up to the crisp, fried exterior without dominating, making for a balanced, vibrant pairing that keeps every mouthful fresh and inviting.' - fabia Selwood-Miller, Operations Manager
