2021 Dopff & Irion 'Tradition Cuvee Rene Dopff' Pinot Blanc Alsace

Winemaker Notes: Luminous pure gold color. On the nose, complex notes of nectarine, pineapple, fresh almond, white acacia flowers, and white pepper. On the palate, very harmonious, evoking honey, spicy cardamom-pepper, citrus fruit on the finish, well balanced acidity and alcohol. Derived from the best terroirs, Cuvée René Dopff was created in honor of the founder of Maison Dopff & Irion. René Dopff produced dry and natural wines, along the lines of the cellar’s current selection.

The Dopff and Irion families, whose origins can be traced to the vineyard as of the 16th century, have known, from one generation to the next, how to build upon their heritage: the vineyard and Chateau de Riquewihr. Constructed in 1549, the Chateau was originally owned by the Princes of Wurtemberg, who ruled over the city and its region for five centuries. At present Riquewihr is dubbed “the pearl of Alsace”.
