Dr. Konstantin Frank Gruner Veltliner

Dr. Konstantin Frank isn't just a winery – it's a piece of American wine history.

The eponymous Dr. Frank was a Ukrainian viticulturist who revolutionized winemaking in the eastern United States by proving that European vinifera grapes could thrive in the cold climate of the Finger Lakes region.

This Grüner Veltliner continues his legacy of innovation. While Austria may be Grüner's spiritual home, this New York version shows that terroir matters more than tradition.

The cool climate of the Finger Lakes provides the perfect conditions for this variety to develop its characteristic pepper and citrus notes while maintaining mouthwatering acidity. What makes this bottle special is how it combines Old World structure with New World fruit expression – it's like the wine equivalent of an exchange student who brings the best of both cultures.

Perfect for those looking to expand their white wine horizons beyond the usual suspects.
