Wine Review: This white gold colored Riesling is a top notch Dry Riesling. It opens with green melon and pear like bouquet with a hint of anise. On the palate, this wine is light bodied, slightly acidic and pleasantly crisp. The flavor profile is a mouthwatering and tasty mild lime and lemon blend with nicely integrated minerality. The finish is dry and very refreshing. This Riesling is very food friendly and would pair nicely with chicken francaise. 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. 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. Food Pairing: Asian cuisine, Poultry, & Shellfish.
