Discover Dr Konstantin Frank Semi-Dry Riesling:
Dr. Konstantin Frank Semi-Dry Riesling emerges from the verdant vineyards of New York’s Finger Lakes region, an area rapidly gaining acclaim for its viticultural prowess, particularly with this noble grape variety. The wine itself is a study in balance and complexity, crafted to express both the varietal character of Riesling and the unique terroir of this glacially formed landscape.
On the nose, one can anticipate an aromatic bouquet that gracefully intertwines ripe stone fruits with subtle floral notes—a hallmark of well-produced Riesling. There’s a hint of peach and apricot that dances with whispers of jasmine and a touch of lime zest, creating an inviting prelude to the first sip.
Upon tasting, it becomes evident that ‘semi-dry’ is not merely a descriptor but an intricate dance between sweetness and acidity. This Riesling showcases a delicate sweetness that is deftly countered by a crisp acidity—a testament to the meticulous winemaking process that ensures such equilibrium. The palate is greeted by flavors reminiscent of honeyed pear and citrus undertones which then give way to a mineral finish reflective of the shale-rich soils from which these vines draw their sustenance.

Riesling is a versatile white grape variety known for producing wines that range from sweet to dry, characterized by their high acidity and vibrant fruitiness. This aromatic wine often features flavors of green apple, peach, and apricot, complemented by floral notes of jasmine and hints of honey. Aged Rieslings may also exhibit a distinctive petrol aroma, adding complexity to the tasting experience.
Originating primarily from regions such as Germany’s Mosel and Rheingau, as well as Alsace in France and parts of Australia like Clare Valley, Riesling can be crafted using various vinification techniques. Stainless steel fermentation preserves its freshness while oak aging can enhance its richness. Food pairings for Riesling are diverse; it complements spicy Asian dishes, seafood like shellfish, pork dishes, and fruit-based desserts beautifully. For optimal enjoyment, serve chilled at 45-50°F (7-10°C) in a standard white wine glass.
