Eugenia Dry Riesling 2021
A single vineyard Riesling named after Eugenia Frank, Konstantin Frank's wife. From a single plot on our Keuka vineyards with old vines and highest shale content.
Pristine shale minerality hinted with fresh lime, ripe green apple and a touch of nectarine. Lean and lively with tart fruit that gives the wine briskness and drive lasting with a depth of flavor that is truly rewarding. Pair with green vegetables, roasted pork, seared scallops, salmon, mild curries, and asian cuisine.

VINEYARD NOTES
The grapes from this single vineyard come from our best Riesling plot and one of the oldest. This plot was planted in 1968 on 1613 and 3309 rootstocks. Soils on this plot have the highest slate content and are shallow with high natural acidity. This vineyard is managed by Eric Volz, current Vineyard Manager for the winery, who worked alongside his father Walter and grandfather, Dr. Konstantin Frank.
WINEMAKER NOTES
“We began 2021 with a milder winter resulting in fewer buds damaged from the cold. This produced a larger grape crop which is allowing us to get back in stock on many
of our wines. The growing season in 2021 was more typical for the region with cooler temperatures and adequate rainfall. The wines from this vintage will have crisp acidity balanced by delicate fruit flavors providing great structure. The Reds and Whites should age well as evidenced by our wine library going back to the 1962 vintage.”
