Tasting notes
Velvety fruity dry white wine. Brilliant straw yellow with solid tears. Soft aroma of white stone fruit (peach and apricot) and hints of butter and almond. Harmonious smooth taste, balanced texture with ripe sweet fruit in the finish. Ideal with (semi) mature hard cheeses, roasted river fish and grilled vegetables like chicory in cheese sauce. Serving temperature: 12°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.
