Za'atar: flavouring profile
Za'atar is a Levantine blend, not a single spice: dried wild thyme and oregano, tart sumac and toasted sesame bound with salt, so it asks a wine to do three things at once. Meet a herbal, savoury note, stand up to sumac's sourness, and flatter a nutty, olive-oil richness.
