This bottling shows brilliant sweet citrus and stone fruit aromas, framed nicely by delicate flowers, minerality and honied notes. This palate shows beautiful weight and texture, with its sweetness balanced perfectly by laser like acidity. 

Christopher’s Journal: From the amazing farming of our friends at Wiemer, this was a later pick yeilding a more oppulent, intence and rich aroma profile, and more tension on the palate, with a push and pull that makes this wine electric.

Riesling

As the Finger Lakes begins to define itself and emerge as a fine wine growing region, Riesling has become the flagship. Riesling is often associated with cool climates, but it is not its ripening ability but rather its cold tolerance that secures it as the most acclimated to the region. While not the first vinifera planted in the Finger Lakes, it was one of the early highlights and wineries like Dr. Konstantin Frank and Hermann J. Wiemer became icons, largely based on their love and affinity for it.
