WINE DESCRIPTION
Dr. Konstantin Frank 'Celebre' Sparkling hails from the Finger Lakes region, USA, renowned for its cool climate ideal for winemaking. Crafted exclusively from 100% hand-harvested Riesling grapes, the wine undergoes a very light pressing. Its distinct character is shaped by a minimum 24 months of secondary fermentation in the historic underground cellar. This medium-sweet sparkling wine, made in the Cremant style, offers an enticing and approachable experience. Bursting with flavors, it features apple, honey, and spicy aromas riding on a robust acidic backbone. The resulting balance, coupled with a delightful fruit-forward profile, makes it a delicious and easy-to-enjoy sparkling wine from the Finger Lakes.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Dr. Konstantin Frank 'Celebre' Sparkling from the Finger Lakes, USA, is a delightful expression of cool-climate sparkling wine.The nose opens with crisp green apple and citrus notes, complemented by hints of fresh-baked bread and a subtle floral undertone. On the palate, lively bubbles dance across the tongue, offering a vibrant medley of green pear, lemon zest, and a touch of minerality, creating a refreshing and well-balanced experience. The finish is clean and invigorating. This sparkling wine pairs exceptionally well with seafood, particularly oysters, due to its bright acidity, or can be enjoyed on its own as a celebratory aperitif.
