Mondavi Woodbridge Shiraz

Robert Mondavi knew a thing or two about good wine and good food. He was a strong believer in the pleasure of dining with friends and family. In 1979 he founded the Woodbridge Winery with a vision to create delicious, smooth wines that enrich everyday experiences. The clean, fruit-driven, approachable wines of Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi are the centrepiece of countless gatherings of family and friends. Buy this wine if you like: Full bodied wine with ripe red fruit and toasty oak character.

Description

Long, languid lunch for summer days. Graze in the garden or pack up and go…

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 190C/170C fan/375F/gas 5. Pierce 1 large aubergine several times with a skewer, then place in a small roasting pan and roast for 1 hour, turning halfway through, until very soft. Cool for 10 minutes. Split the aubergine lengthways and scrape the flesh into a food processor. Add 1 crushed clove garlic, 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 1&#8260,2 tbsp each chopped fresh mint and parsley leaves. Season with plenty of salt and pepper and process to a rough purΓ©e. Serve with bread or toasted baguette. This can be made up to a couple of days ahead and kept in the fridge, though it’s nicest served at room temperature.
