2019 Dr. Konstantin Frank Rkatsiteli

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Tuesday, November 24, 2020 - High, high, bright acidity, sharp zesty peach, pear, and lime. A bit of a spicy and floral ending which reminds me of muscat. Minerality is present and balances the acidity enough that the wine is not tart.

I drink this after a run of Rketsiteli from Georgia in the past 2 weeks (which I will log eventually). In comparison to those, this is lower in minerality which gives those a thickening, saline quality. However this is much more floral, and has a bit more of a delicate touch than those had. Don't get me wrong, there is mineral here, and a touch of brine lingers on the tongue after the swallow, playful with the fruit and acidity, but the mineral in the Georgian wines was something else. This wine is immensely enjoyable.
