Off-dry Riesling
Off-dry Alsatian Riesling (late-harvest or 15-30g/L residual-sugar Riesling on schist) — yellow peach, lime, honey and sweet spices temper sambal chili and terasi shrimp paste of nasi goreng; residual sugar calming bird's-eye chili capsaicin, taut acidity de-greasing sweet ketjap manis and the fried egg.
Gewurztraminer
Alsatian Gewurztraminer (opulent grape on varied Haut-Rhin soils, often 8-15g/L residual sugar) — lychee, rose, fresh ginger and sweet spices form perfect aromatic harmony with Indonesian nasi goreng; exotic lychee echoing tropical fruits of Javanese dishes, ginger prolonging galangal and lemongrass, residual sugar soothing sambal bird's eye.
Rosé
Provence Rosé (Grenache from the Maures), pale and chilled to 8°C, refreshes the palate between spicy bites of nasi goreng; faded-citrus freshness soothing sambal capsaicin without amplifying it (unlike alcoholic whites), light red fruit echoing the optional tomato ketchup, simplicity respecting the dashi-shrimp paste umami richness.
