Gewurztraminer
Alsatian Gewurztraminer (opulent grape on varied Haut-Rhin soils) — lychee, rose, ginger and slightly spicy-sweet edge embrace Fès pigeon pastilla in aromatic mirror; rose note answering orange-blossom water perfuming the filling, lychee echoing cinnamon and icing-sugar dusting the crispy brick pastry.
Rosé du Maroc
Moroccan Rosé (Grenache-Cinsault from 600m-altitude Meknès and Bénislimane slopes, French-era heritage viticulture) — strawberry, sweet spice and dried flowers form the authentic local pairing; same terroir, same climate, same culinary heritage, freshness balancing sweet-savoury pigeon-almond-cinnamon.
Côtes du Rhône Blanc
White Côtes du Rhône (Grenache Blanc-Viognier-Roussanne) — white peach, apricot, white flowers and oily roundness accompany the sweet-savoury without contradiction; apricot echoing flaked almonds and cinnamon, oily roundness holding buttered brick pastry, Grenache Blanc bitterness balancing icing sugar.
