Tasting notes
Cheeky, frivolous semi-sweet white wine. Brilliant green yellow with green fine tears. Very mineral attack with pure slate, exotic fruit, a hint of mint, white pepper and citrus zest. Slim playful taste with mischievous sweet-sour play. Remains dry in the long finish with lots of exotic fruit and floral notes. Lovely to drink on its own but also with oriental dishes, spicy soft creamy cheeses and fruit salad. Excellent with fresh strawberries. Serving temperature: 8°C
Wine Story
I met Frank in May 2002 in Brussels at a wine event organised by the German Wine Institute. Frank had his presentation table five stands away. The attendance at the fair was rather moderate, so I used the time to taste different wines myself. I noticed Frank's table, because he only had 6 Großes Gewächs aus dem Rheingau from the Künstler winery in his assortment.

Dabei ist mir der Tisch von Frank aufgefallen, denn er hatte lediglich 6 Großes Gewächse aus dem Rheingau vom Weingut Künstler im Sortiment.
