2024 Hermann J. Wiemer “Flower Day” Riesling, Seneca Lake, USA

ABOUT THE WINE

Sourced from estate vineyards along Seneca Lake, “Flower Day” highlights the cool-climate brilliance that defines this region. The deep glacial lake moderates temperatures, extending the growing season and preserving Riesling’s hallmark acidity and aromatic lift.

Crafted by Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard, a pioneer of dry and balanced Riesling in the Finger Lakes, the wine is fermented with indigenous yeasts and vinified primarily in stainless steel to retain freshness and clarity. A touch of residual sugar enhances its floral character while maintaining vibrant structure.

The 2024 vintage offers flavors of ripe pear, lemon curd, and apricot layered with subtle slate-like minerality. Its texture is supple yet energized by lively acidity, creating harmony between fruit purity and crisp tension.

Food Pairings: Perfect with Thai cuisine, sushi, spicy pork dishes, goat cheese, or lightly sweet-and-savory fare. Its floral aromatics and balanced sweetness make it especially versatile with spice-driven dishes.
