Hermann J. Wiemer Semi-Dry Riesling 2022 Review
The legacy of Hermann J. Wiemer in the Finger Lakes is huge. He, among others, helped establish the nascent wine region as a destination for renowned terroir-driven wines — specifically Riesling. Although he retired in 2007, Wiemer's legacy lives on with former apprentice and current co-owner Fred Merwarth and his team. This unique Semi-Dry Riesling has a honeyed sweetness with a gingery, waxy texture. The palate is enticing with complex hints of honey, beeswax, spice, and cooked herbs. The acidity is abundant, but the balanced, refreshing structure maintains a subtle concentration of sweetness. This is the perfect wine to offset the heat in a spicy dish, or to enjoy with a dessert cheese platter.
