Hermann J Wiemer Cabernet Franc 2022
Cabernet Franc is ideally suited to the long falls of the Finger Lakes. Extended hang time in our riper sites builds structure and flavor complexity, evidenced by the generous raspberry and plum aroma on our medium-bodied Cabernet Franc. On the palate, it combines bramble fruit, soft tannins, and a black pepper finish. Just like Riesling runs the full spectrum of dry to sweet, Cabernet Franc's body ranges from light-medium to plush and robust.
Indigenous yeast fermentation with a mixture of pumpover and punchdowns throughout fermentation, 50% aged in stainless steel, 50% aged in neutral oak barrels for 10 months.
The Wiemer estate spans 90-acres of prime vineyard sites on the western slopes of Seneca Lake and the wines are among the most acclaimed in the region. Estate fruit is hand-harvested and hand-sorted, and vineyard qualities are worked in small lots and then blended to create wines of balance and texture. Fermentations rely on indigenous yeasts to ensure each wine embodies the truest expression of site. Our commitment to place draws on the same forward-thinking techniques and respect for the past that has fueled our mission since Hermann’s first block of Riesling was planted over forty years ago.
