"Aromas of pineapple flan and apple fritters that are ripe and honeyed yet retain bright liveliness, with touches of candied ginger, honeysuckle, citrus oil and jasmine. An almost slippery texture makes for a terrifically tactile experience. Drink or hold, but be patient."

"Sourced from vines planted in 1974, this single-vineyard Riesling is one of the most expressive in the Finger Lakes. Grapes from this site are harvested after longer hang times, resulting in richly concentrated fruit. The result is a generous wine with bold notes of apricot, pineapple, and spice. The extra touch of residual sugar lends to a weighty mouthfeel, moderated by bright acidity."

"The pureness of this riesling is so beautiful, with sliced pear, spice and sweet white grape aromas. It™s medium-bodied, sweet and flavorful. A lovely wine to contemplate at the end of the meal. Drink now."

"Made in the style of an Auslese, the 2023 Riesling Josef Vineyard is fabulous. It comes from a single pick on a southern hillside block with high vigor, resulting in an explosively aromatic wine with a citrus-inflected nose of grapefruit, ginger and spice. The sugar, ripeness and acidity are all elevated, and it works magnificently well. The finish rings long with echoes of citrus zest."

"Made in a lower-alcohol (9.4%), sweeter style (54 grams per liter of residual sugar), Wiemer's 2023 Riesling Josef Vineyard is slightly honeyed on the nose, with ripe peaches accented by hints of clove and cinnamon. It's medium-bodied and creamy-textured, with terrific persistence on the finish, the sweetness balanced by mouthwatering acids."
