Fun Facts:  Hermann J. Wiemer has been a viticulture and winemaking pioneer in New York since he emigrated from Bernkastel, Germany in the 1960s.  His wines today are among the most acclaimed in the region, with awards and the Top 100 in the world to show for it.  With biodynamic farming as a focus, they also maintain a vine nursery that’s operated since the estate’s first plantings in 1976.  They grow and ship vinifera varieties all over the U.S. that are well suited for cool climates like Riesling, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay and Lemberger.  The grapes for this Brut are grown in 3 distinct vineyards spanning 90-acres of prime vineyard sites that take advantage of the various microclimates and aspects of the western shore of Seneca Lake, NY.
