A pioneer of quality winemaking in New York’s Finger Lakes, Hermann J. Wiemer is legendary for Riesling that rivals the best of Germany. Founded by German-born Wiemer in the 1970s and now led by Fred Merwarth and Oskar Bynke, the estate practices biodynamic farming and precision winemaking. Their Rieslings are taut, mineral, and age-worthy, while other varieties like Gewürztraminer and Pinot Noir shine as well. Wiemer remains the gold standard of the Finger Lakes.
