Hermann J. Wiemer Riesling Blend Seneca Lake Frost Cuvee 2010

Winemaker's Notes:

With each vintage, grapes present different flavors and intensities. As a result, Frost Cuvée is specially crafted each year to best reflect the outcome of the growing season. A differing blend of Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc, creates a smooth and approachable off-dry blend. There are bright fruit and floral notes up front while light pear and a touch of spice grace the palate. Refreshing, yet complex, Frost Cuvée is a perfect wine for any occasion, from Thanksgiving dinner to summer sunsets, and everything in between. Food pairing: Full spice dishes, Asian and Mexican cuisine, BBQ

Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard:

Riesling-obsessed connoisseurs know how important Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard's pioneering work is to wine. Hermann, born in Germany with an extensive wine family background, discovered the Finger Lakes in the 1960's, and its cool climate and gravelly soil reminded him of the Mosel Valley. Realizing the untapped potential of the Finger Lakes region, he started to grow classic European vines along selected sites on one of the most prominent properties in the Finger Lakes. Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard estate grown wines are established from traditions of excellence and have a reputation for being exceptionally lush, crisp and well balanced. Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard is founded on the philosophy of quality and hand crafted wines. Located on the shores of Seneca Lake, the well drained sloping shalestone bedrock and Honeoye silt loam soil lend itself to the production of what critics consider to be some of the best grown Rieslings in America.

Frost Cuveacute;e is specially crafted each year to best reflect the outcome of the growing season. It is a blend of Riesling and Gewuuml;rztraminer, accented by their cuveacute;e of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The brilliant, light yellow wine has aromas of lemon, pear, spicy cherry and peach which are recapitulated on the palate with the addition of a touch of lychee. It is round and juicy with a hint of sweetness and a long, crisp finish. This complex, delightful wine to enjoy on a summer day, with Thanksgiving dinner, ham salad sandwiches, smoked fish or anything in between.

Incredible wine! Incredible value! A blend of Gewuuml;rtztraminer, Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, it is a smooth, vibrant white with a hint of sweetness. Enjoy with smoked salmon, scallops with mushroom sauce or grilled grouper.

Hermann Wiemer is one of a handful of Finger Lakes wineries that are elevating the quality of New York wine to a point that deserves nationwide recognition. If their outstanding Rieslings and other varietal wines are a bit too pricey for you, they now offer the outstanding value-priced Frost Cuveacute;e. This odds-and-ends blend (Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir) carries fresh aromas of apple, lemon zest and strawberry with shadings of rose petal and nutmeg. Slightly off-dry but impeccably balanced and deceptively long on the finish, this refreshing wine is difficult not to like. Try with seafood risotto or any light fare mdash; this Frost is just the antidote for the hot months ahead.
