Leslie Williams - Dr. Konstantin Frank Dry Riesling

DR. KONSTANTIN FRANK DRY RIESLING, 2019

"...The Finger Lake Region near Lake Ontario in New York State is another excellent place to explore but its wines are tough to find - I have relied on American friends to bring me back bottles over the years. Recently, however, one importer has taken a risk and imported the Dr Konstantin Frank range - thank you, David Whelehan from Whelehans Wines. The Finger Lakes are remarkably similar in climate to some of Germany's great vineyards and the wines are comparable..."

"This might be a first for this column as this is the first Finger Lakes Riesling I've found in Ireland. Finger Lakes has a cool climate not unlike the Rheinhessen in Germany and this is delicious - bristling with apple and lime acidity, flinty and crisp and lingering baked apples and peach notes."
