Sparkling Wine Vertical 3/28/2015 (SOLD OUT)

Jan 16, 2015 | Events, News & Noteworthy

Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard has produced sparkling wine since our founding in 1979. On Saturday, 28 March, winemaker Fred Merwarth will be presenting seven vintages of sparkling wines in a special Vertical/ Horizontal tasting event.

Over the course of twelve wines, guests will be guided through all four styles of sparkling wine produced at Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard with an in-depth look at the process and myriad variables of sparkling wine production. In addition to comparisons of older and more recent vintages and discussions on varietal, vintage, and aging factors, a special “horizontal” review of the 2006 Cuvee Brut will illuminate our staggered disgorgement program by showcasing five different disgorgements of that single vintage.
