Viognier
Viognier (Condrieu or Côtes du Rhône, steep granite slopes) — ripe apricot, white peach, acacia flower and oily roundness echo oven-roasted sweet potato; sunny apricot prolonging caramelised beta-carotene-rich orange flesh, roundness wrapping the soft texture, finishing bitterness balancing the honey or maple-syrup drizzle.
Gewurztraminer
Alsatian Gewurztraminer (opulent grape on varied Haut-Rhin soils) — lychee, rose, fresh ginger and residual sweetness accompany spiced sweet potato; spices echoing cumin, paprika or cinnamon dusted on sweet-potato fries, lychee prolonging natural orange-flesh sugar, ginger adding zip against the cooked richness.
Chenin Blanc
Chenin Blanc, with its vivacity and quince notes, balances the sweetness of sweet potato.
