2021 Dopff & Irion Riesling Cuvée René Dopff
The Collective Review
Lively, fresh and balanced, classic Alsace Riesling with long fruity persistence and mineral flavours. Scored a big 93 points from Master of Wine, Ned Goodwin.
Supremely food friendly. Try with spicy Asian cuisine which matches well with these intoxicating flavours.
There is no better way to truly understand what Alsace can do than by tasting the yardsticks of Dopff & Irion yourself.
