Description
Aromatic still white wine from Alsace, France, 13.5% ABV, produced by Dopff & Irion Chateau Riquewihr. 0.75 L bottle, 2021 vintage. A Gewürztraminer Cuvée René Dopff that celebrates the history and passion of a family for Alsatian viticulture. Very intense on the nose, it develops characteristic aromas of spices, dried grapes, and pomace, with floral notes of rose. Pale yellow with light green reflections, bright and clear. The palate is powerful and thirst-quenching, with great aromatic persistence and a lovely freshness on the finish.
