Description: Hermann J. Weimer Vineyard, founded in 1979, is a pioneer of viticulture and winemaking in the Finger Lakes region. Founder Hermann J. Weimer hails from Bernkastel, Germany- his family’s wine-making history dates back 300 years in the famed Mosel region. Hermann retired in 2007, handing the reins to his then apprentice, Fred Merwarth and agronomist Oskar Bynke. The color has a deep plum/cherry center with magenta highlights; on the nose, aromas of forest floor, shiso leaf and dark/sour cherry. The palate shows notes of bramble fruit, with soft tannins and an elegant black pepper finish.
Food Pairing: Duck breast, pork chops, parsnip dishes, yellow lentils/ split peas, dark chocolate, etc.
