Dopff & Irion Crustaces

'Crustaces' (French for 'crustaceans') telegraphs exactly what this wine was born to do – pair beautifully with seafood. This Alsatian blend from the historic house of Dopff & Irion is essentially a love letter to shellfish, with a mineral profile and zippy acidity that makes seafood dishes sing. The beauty of this wine lies in its precision and purity – there's no oak to mask the crystalline fruit flavors, just the honest expression of Alsatian terroir. The blend combines Riesling's backbone of acidity and minerality with the soft, rounded notes of Pinot Blanc. It's the vinous equivalent of a cool ocean breeze – refreshing, invigorating, and exactly what you want on a warm day. While the name suggests shellfish, don't let that limit you – this versatile white is happy to accompany everything from sushi to salads to solo sipping.
