2017 Hermann J. Wiemer Brut Finger Lakes

Winemaker Notes: Specially selected Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes blend beautifully together to create the base wine for the Cuvée Brut. Crisp and clean with an initial impression of red fruits, which shifts to ripe citrus and honeysuckle on the finish. It is a 50/50 blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the HJW and Magdalena Vineyards. This sparkling wine is made méthode champenoise.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Decanter - " Delicious and lively. Extended time on the lees, a whole 51 months, adds depth to a very bright, lively wine. Aromas of lime zest, white flower, and faint notes of pear. The palate is fresh, with flavours of wet stone, lemon zest, and fresh pear fruits. While lean and bright, there is a delicious underlying yeasty richness."
