Hearty rhubarb tart with goat's cheese and walnuts
Rhubarb with a difference: a hearty tart with the fruity acidity of rhubarb, creamy goat's cheese and crunchy walnuts on buttery shortcrust pastry. The Gewürztraminer AOC Alsace with its rose petal and ginger aroma is a surprisingly harmonious wine partner.
