Tomato tart
Tomato tart: ripe tomatoes on a buttery pastry base, typically with a thin layer of Dijon mustard and sometimes goat's cheese or tapenade beneath. The tomato acidity sits alongside the buttery pastry richness, the mustard adds pungency, and the goat's cheese or tapenade adds further savoury complexity. The wine must handle all three elements: tomato acidity, butter fat, and savoury depth. Without tannin that would clash with the tomato or oak that would fight the mustard.
