Dr Konstantin Frank Blaufränkisch 750ml

100% Blaufränkisch from our Seneca Estate Vineyards and aged 18 Months 20% New, 80% 2-4 Year Old French Oak.

Leading with fresh plums and red berries with vivid violet scents, the wine evolves from its bright and fruity core to a spicy richness on the palate. Juicy and tense, the red fruits mend with a touch of earthiness and cedar oak.

Blaufränkisch was planted in 2014 on our Seneca vineyard located in Hector, NY in the warmest mesoclimate in the Finger Lakes known as the ‘Banana Belt’. The plot of land is uniquely positioned near the deepest parts of Seneca Lake where the depths reach 680 feet deep. The depth of the lake here presents a warmer mesoclimate than on Keuka Lake by a few degrees over the growing season providing riper fruit notes. Soils on Seneca are characterized by deep honeoye silt loam.
