Wine Review: This straw-colored Riesling from Dr. Konstantin Frank in the Finger Lakes is very good. It opens with a bee’s wax and lemon verbena bouquet with hints of iced tea. On the palate, this wine is light plus bodied with integrated medium acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, mouthwatering, and approachable. The flavor profile is a ripe pear and green apple blend with notes of honeydew melon. We also detected hints of lemon verbena and green iced tea. The finish is off-dry, and its flavors linger nicely. This Riesling would pair well with your Thanksgiving dinner options. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Our classic semi-dry style of Riesling made from vines dating back to 1958 from both our estate vineyard sites. The 2023 Semi-Dry Riesling presents itself with an elegant bouquet that is both inviting and refined. On the nose, delicate aromas of acacia flowers intermingle with hints of green apple and lime, creating a fresh and vibrant profile. The palate reveals a subtle yet distinct mineral character, enhancing the wine's complexity. Slightly sweet notes provide a balanced contrast to the lively acidity, leading to a smooth finish that lingers pleasantly. This Riesling's harmonious blend of flavors and textures makes it a delightful choice for any occasion. The Dr. Konstantin Frank 2023 Semi-Dry Riesling pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes. The wine's acidity and subtle sweetness complements scallops, creamy cheeses like Brie or Camembert, or with Thai, and Asian cuisines.
