Melanie Pfister 'Paar' - White Blend

This 2022 white wine blend hails from Alsace, France. It's a 50/50 mix of Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois. Domaine Pfister, located in northern Alsace, is an organic and biodynamic winery with a history dating back to the Revolutionary War. Melanie Pfister, after studying wine globally, joined her father in 2006 and still works with him as he nears retirement. 'Paar', meaning pair in German, refers to the two varietals used. Grown in clay soils, this wine offers citrus and floral notes like lime, with a perfect balance of minerality. It's ideal as an aperitif and pairs well with pasta and salmon.

To enjoy this Melanie Pfister 'Paar' white wine blend, first, chill it in the fridge for about an hour or so. This will bring out its refreshing flavors. As an aperitif, pour it into a nice wine glass and sip it slowly to appreciate the citrus and floral notes. When pairing it with pasta or salmon, serve it at the same time. Just make sure not to over - chill it as it might dull the flavors. There's no special maintenance needed for the wine once opened, but you can keep it in the fridge with a cork for up to 2 - 3 days to keep it fresh.
