DRY RIESLING 2004 from the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York

Hermann Wiemer was born in Bernkastel, Germany into a family with 300 years experience in making the distinguished vinifera wines of the Mosel Valley.

He arrived in the United States in 1968 already well versed in the European tradition of fine winemaking. To this heritage he added the skill of grafting fragile vinifera vines onto sturdy American rootstock.

In 1973 he bought 140 acres on the west side of Seneca Lake, which he planted with a variety of European vinifera grapevines. Visitors who wish to see these vines, along with ponds and the six acre nursery, can take the popular Vineyard Walk through the property.

The Winery, which produces 12,000 cases each year, was designed in 1982 by an award winning team of Cornell architects. Enclosed within the shell of a seventy-year-old scissor-trussed barn, it accommodates a laboratory, tasting and retail sales, a wine production area and a private tasting room. Its unique white cathedral-like interior counterpoints the bare wooden walls and sleek Italian stainless steel tanks.

Adjacent to the winery is the beautifully restored Italianate house now used as a private residence.

Wheat Barn 2

Of the two barns, the Wheat Barn is the most complete and remains little altered from its original design. The building is 40m long, 12.2m wide and 11m high and consists of a midstrey, four equal bays and cantilevered ends. It was originally constructed from 472 oaks felled between 1257 and 1290 and is designed in the ‘Romanesque’ style, that is all the timbers are straight and of square section. There are six identical trusses with passing braces meeting at a scissor above the collars. In contrast to the Barley Barn the passing braces are split in the arcade post, possibly a concession to the availability of long, narrow section timbers or possibly an improved design. The trusses are retained with side purlins clamped against the collar with ashlar posts
