Horseradish: flavouring profile
Freshly grated horseradish throws the sharpest, most volatile pungency in the kitchen straight to the nose: the same allyl isothiocyanate as wasabi, and because it almost always arrives cold and raw on rich protein, the wine has two jobs. Stand up with high acid, and refuse to inflame the heat.
