Having had the pleasure of tasting some good Riesling in time over in Germany, this doesn’t disappoint at all. Far from it, light and refreshing and comes with a brilliant after taste, i couldn’t wait to have another sip. I’m ordering this again i enjoyed it so much and really recommend it if you like a light dry white wine with a really distinctive fruity taste.
