TASTING NOTES
The 2024 Dr. Konstantin Frank Muscat Ottonel presents an alluring and exotic bouquet, with captivating aromas of honeysuckle, rose, and orange blossom. On
the palate, this wine unfolds layers of tropical fruits, featuring prominent notes of pineapple and mango. The floral elements intertwine beautifully, enhancing the wine's slightly sweet character and balanced with its refreshing, bright acidity.
VINEYARD NOTES
Muscat Ottonel was brought to the Finger Lakes by our founder, Dr. Konstantin Frank, in the early 1960s as one of 66 experimental vinifera varieties. We have since
learned that Muscat Ottonel prefers warmer vineyard sites in the Finger Lakes, so we now source these grapes from Lamoreaux Landing on Seneca Lake. The Banana Belt is a portion of land on the east side of Seneca Lake that receives the greatest amount of sun and is located nearest to the deepest parts of Seneca Lake, thus having a greater impact on temperature. Grapes grown here exhibit more tropical flavors as a result of greater ripeness.
