Four generations later, the Frank family remains the benchmark for Finger Lakes winemaking — and this Rkatsiteli is their most ancient and extraordinary expression. Rkatsiteli is a Georgian grape variety dating back to 3000 B.C., making it one of the oldest known cultivated grapes in the world. The 2024 is crafted as an amber wine with one month of skin contact — a nod to the ancient Georgian qvevri tradition — resulting in a wine of striking complexity, texture, and depth. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose is arresting and aromatic: toasted orange peel, macerated apricot, orchard blossoms, fresh ginger, and cardamom. On the palate, zesty citrus unfolds with layers of stone fruit, framed by a gentle tannic grip reminiscent of a light red. Full-bodied with subtle warmth, this amber wine balances texture, spice, and freshness in a style that is genuinely unlike anything else in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery, Keuka Lake, Finger Lakes, New York\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Finger Lakes AVA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rkatsiteli — Georgian grape, origins c. 3000 B.C.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amber wine — one month skin contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toasted orange peel, macerated apricot, orchard blossom, ginger, cardamom, stone fruit, gentle tannins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Paired With:\u003c\/strong\u003e Middle Eastern \u0026amp; Mediterranean cuisine, roasted root vegetables, spiced poultry, aged cheeses, olives, sushi, grilled white meats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 3,000-year-old Georgian grape grown in the Finger Lakes by America’s vinifera pioneer — Dr. Konstantin Frank Rkatsiteli is the benchmark for what amber wine can be in New York.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"67Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46972145860891,"sku":"NYDKFRK","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/1789\/4171\/files\/frnkbe7b8q9jijpd4web.jpg?v=1776384515","url":"https:\/\/67wine.com\/products\/dr-konstantin-frank-rkatsiteli-2024-750ml","provider":"67","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
