FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Chateau Frank takes the lead at American Wine Society Competition!
Hammondsport, New York – November 29, 2007 – Chateau Frank brought home one Double Gold Medal and three Gold Medals at November's American Wine Society Competition! Chateau Frank is the sister winery to Dr. Konstantin Frank’s Vinifera Wine Cellars and was started by Dr. Frank’s son, Willy. While Dr. Konstantin Frank pioneered growing the noble European grape varieties in New York, Willy Frank spearheaded New York’s sparkling wine revolution using traditional methods and classic grapes. Chateau Frank’s award winning sparkling wines have been served at the White House, New York’s Governor’s Mansion and presented on the Regis and Kelly show.
Chateau Frank led the way bringing home more Gold Medals than any other New York State Winery! Chateau Frank 2000 Blanc de Noirs was awarded a Gold Medal at the American Wine Society Competition. This Finger Lakes Champagne also won “Best of Category for Sparkling Wine”
at the New York State Fair along with five other Gold Medals at other competitions. With aromas of pear, apple, vanilla and hazelnut that combine with the toasty yeast character, persistent foam and tiny bubbles, this style of sparkling wine makes for a perfect accompaniment to a holiday celebration.
Chateau Frank 2000 Blanc de Blancs received a Gold Medal at the American Wine Society Competition along with four other Gold Medals at other competitions. It was also named #1 in the category of "Most Exciting or Unusual Finds" in Wine Report 2008: "The best sparkling wine I tasted from the Northeast – a fitting tribute to the late Willy Frank." November's Draft Magazine highlighted the Blanc de Blancs; "One of the classic sparkling wines to emerge from the Finger Lakes, this golden-color wine is dry with hints of pear and a touch of pineapple." Just in time for holiday entertaining, this medium- bodied champagne has a crisp acidity accompanied by complex aromas of yeast, citrus, lemon, ginger, floral and hazelnut.
The Cremant style Celebre Rose won a Gold Medal at the American Wine Society Commercial Wine Competition. Not to be outdone, Chateau Frank Celebre took home a prestigious Double Gold Medal at the American Wine Society Commercial Wine Competition. The Celebre is a delicious, fruity, easy to drink sparkling wine. It's the perfect holiday refreshment with apple, honey and spicy aromas accompanied by a solid acidic backbone giving this wine great balance and fruit.
Located on Keuka Lake a few miles north of Hammondsport, Dr. Frank’s has long been associated with the New York wine revolution. Its founder, Dr. Konstantin Frank, was the first to cultivate the European vitis vinifera grapevines in the eastern United States, the varieties used in virtually all of the world’s finest wines.
