Dopff & Irion ‘Crustacés’
(Alsace, France)
Surdyk's Price:
If you’re searching for your next “go-to” white wine this summer, I think I might have found the perfect option for you! Dopff & Irion Crustacés from Alsace may just have a permanent place in my fridge all summer long. Alsace sits in northeastern France along the German border and is known for producing bright, refreshing white wines with great aromatics and crisp acidity. This particular bottle leans into everything you want from an easy “summer sipper” on the porch, while also being lovely enough to complement a beautiful summer picnic!
In the glass, expect a crisp white wine with notes of citrus, green apple, pear, and a touch of minerality that keeps every sip refreshing and lively. This is the perfect example of what I would call a “popcorn wine!” Pair it with something salty like popcorn, your favorite meats, cheese and crackers, or take the suggestions right from the label and enjoy it with some wonderful seafood. ¡Salud!
