Wine Review: This pale yellow colored Riesling from the Finger Lakes opens with a floral and pear bouquet. On the palate, this wine is light bodied, acidic, crisp and fresh. The flavor profile is a tasty mild mineral infused green apple with hints of peach, lychee and apricot. The finish is dry and its flavors linger for a while. This Riesling is food friendly and would pair well with grilled halibut. 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 mouth-watering 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.
