Dr. Konstantin Frank Dry Riesling 750ml

Dr. Konstantin Frank, a Ukrainian immigrant with a doctorate in viticulture, planted vinifera grapes, Riesling among them, in New York's Finger Lakes in 1958. The winery sits on Keuka Lake and is still family run, passed from Frederick Frank to Meaghan Frank. Dry Riesling is the winery's flagship.

For the 2025 release, the winery de-stemmed and direct-pressed Keuka Lake estate fruit, cold-fermented it in temperature-controlled stainless steel with selected German yeasts and left it on the lees for five months, with no oak. The final blend is chosen blind from 40 to 50 tanks. The 2025 is 12% alcohol.

The winery describes the 2025 as intensely aromatic, with orange zest, ripe apricot, pineapple and acacia blossom, steely, shale-driven minerality, bright acidity and a long finish. The Philadelphia Inquirer calls it dry as a bone.

Against Dr. Konstantin Frank Semi Dry Riesling, the Dry Riesling is the drier, crisper bottling; for a bone-dry aperitif, choose the Dry Riesling.

Serve it well chilled on its own, or follow the winery's suggestion and pour it with pork loin.
