Profiled Viticulturist – Dr. Konstantin Frank

Sixty years later, many wineries in the region have adopted his growing techniques, while his wines continue to earn great successes. In 2001 Vinifera Cellars won New York’s first “Winery of the Year Award” under the direction of his son, Willie Frank. Konstantin Frank passed away in 1985, but his cool climate expertise lives strong.
