Dr.Konstantin Frank Gewurztraminer / 750ml

The 2019 Gew?rztraminer comes in with 5.1 grams of residual sugar, 6.9 of total acidity and 12.9% alcohol. This is sourced from Keuka vineyard blocks from 1968 and 1981. Enticingly aromatic with its classic rose petal nuances, this is a balanced Gew?rz that shows off some lychees on the finish. The modest sugar is easily offset by the acidity. Very gentle and just a touch bland for this grape, it lacks some power and doesn't show much spice, but the rest is quite well done, certain to make fans of this grape happy at a pretty nice price. This is always a nice and consistent offering, never quite having the structure to rise to star status, but always delivering plenty of easy-sipping value. 88 Points Wine Advocate
