Dr. Konstantin Frank Gewürztraminer, Finger Lakes

Wine Description & Tasting Notes

An exotic tasting grape from vines dating back to 1968 made in a dry style.

The Dr. Konstantin Frank Gewürztraminer presents a bouquet that immediately transports you to the tropical, with an exotic aroma that is rich in lychee and apricot. On the palate, the wine opens up with round flavours of ripe honeydew melon, complemented by a hint of white pepper that adds an intriguing, subtle spice. This Gewürztraminer is balanced with a touch of sweetness that enhances its tropical fruit profile without overwhelming the senses. The finish is smooth and lingering, leaving you with a delightful impression of tropical and stone fruit nuances.

The slight sweetness and exotic flavors complement spicy dishes like Thai curry, Szechuan chicken, Tikka Masala, or Vietnamese Phở. Pair with rich and creamy cheeses like aged Gouda. Grilled shrimp, scallops, or sushi can enhance the tropical and pepper notes. Lightly-sweet desserts like fruit tarts or cobbler echo the wine’s tropical profile.
