Tasting notes:
Very rich aroma of fruit, flowers and honey, bright yellow color. Sofia’s Riesling has the lovely sweetness of Riesling, but beautifully balanced acidity that wouldn’t leave you with overly sweet taste in your mouth. Mineral quality, that gives a freshness and feels almost like a tiny bubbles are topical for high quality German Rieslings.
