The gentle warmth and fruity character of Espelette pepper perfectly complement these rich sardines. The pepper adds subtle spice and a touch of sweetness rather than heat, creating a beautifully balanced and moreish tin.
 
Serving Suggestion
Enjoy on toasted sourdough with roasted capsicum and olives, or serve alongside roasted potatoes with a dollop of aioli.
 
Wine Pairing
A lightly chilled Beaujolais is a wonderful French pairing, while an Australian Tasmanian Pinot Noir brings bright fruit and freshness to the table.
