Frank John, Dry Riesling, Pfalz, Germany 2018

The former winemaker for iconic German producers such as Von Buhl and Koehler-Ruprecht, Frank John is a fanatic when it comes to a sustainable way of life. He and his wife, daughter, and son are the full-time hands operating in their vineyards and their winery (the ground floor and courtyard adjacent to their home in Konigsbach). Frank's wines are electric and racy, yet retain a buffer of creamy texture rounded out by aging in large Stockinger barrels and bottle age before release.
