Dr. Konstantin Frank, Dry Riesling, Finger Lakes, NY 2020
{organic} 100% Riesling
ZESTY LEMON, PINEAPPLE, SLATEY & CLEAN
The name Konstantin Frank is law in the Finger Lakes region, and his eponymous winery is still the apotheosis of quality vinifera on the east coast. This is a classic Old World-style dry Riesling bursting with bright citrus & pineapple flavors and buoyant blossomy aromas. But it’s the juicy finish that is truly the star here, a thread of acidity and minerality that elevates the wine from "refreshing" to "ethereal."
Serving Suggestion: Whole grilled trout w/ lemon & sea salt, w/ buttered sourdough & summer greens.
