Wine Review: This pale yellow colored Riesling opens with a mild tangerine like bouquet with a hint of banana. On the palate, this wine is light bodied, balanced and very east to enjoy. The flavor profile is a gentle green pear with hints of mild peach and white pepper. The finish is dry and its flavors fade away nicely. This dry styled Riesling is very food friendly. It would pair well with linguini with a white wine clam broth. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: The dry style Riesling is the signature of Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard. Exceptional grapes from each of our three vineyard locations come together to create this mouthwatering wine. This wine is fermented in small lots to ensure quality and then blended to perfection to create an elegant and balanced wine. With each vintage, we seek to match the appropriate level of fruit flavor with refreshing crispness that lets the true qualities of the Riesling grape shine through. Hints of lime and orange blossom on the nose set the stage for a succulent palate of apricot and grapefruit. Our trademark minerality creates a beautiful texture that carries into a long, lingering finish
