Alsace 'La Soif' 2025

One of Domaine Kientzler’s newest offerings, “La Soif” is a mouthwatering, thirst-quenching — literally, the word soif means “the thirst” in French — sipper that is at once a gorgeous aperitif and a clutch partner for everything from cheese to roast chicken. A dry, full-bodied blend of Chasselas, Riesling, Muscat and Auxerrois, the palate has the right balance of fruit and liveliness, which gives a nice impression of freshness. On the nose, fine aromas of fleshy pear, white peach, and delicate crushed flowers make the wine especially hard to resist. Try it with white pizza, sashimi, or semi-firm cheeses.
