Wine match: These spicy tomato and octopus pies work so well with a full-flavoured rosé. Fifteen minutes down the road from me here in the Corbières is a small domaine owned by husband and wife team Didier and Jen of the Colline de L’Hirondelle. They produce quirky, handcrafted wines, small in quantity and large in flavour. Their rosé, Ventilo, is made from the much forgotten and dismissed Chenançon variety. The ripeness of the fruit here ensures that the wine harmonises, rather than is overpowered by the spiciness of the sauce; just don’t serve it too cold!
