Pimientos de Padrón
Padrón peppers are blistered in hot oil and scattered with sea salt, sweet and grassy with a charred edge and the odd fiery one, so the wine wants green-toned acidity to bridge the pepper, salinity for the salt and real freshness. A crisp green white is the mark. Avoid oak and tannin.
