Hermann J. Wiemer Riesling Flower Day Finger Lakes 2019

A prestige cuvee natural wine, if you will, from a gold standard Riesling producer in the Finger Lakes. Harvested exclusively from the estate’s prized HJW vineyard, this wine proclaims its biodynamic bona fides by its very name: Flower Day, the period in the biodynamic calendar when the vines are allowed to rest. Wiemer encourages resting and relaxing while enjoying this wine, but too much leisure might make you miss the pure simplicity of honey, tangerine, and nectarine, trickling across cold wet stone. Elegant, luscious.
