Lovely Loosen

I took a chance...I bought a bottle of Dr L Sparkling Riesling, a German wine from Loosen Bros. It was a very nice surprise. It tasted of honeyed apples and quince, but with a very dry finish. It had lots of bubbles at the start, settling into a lasting fizz. It was refreshing and fun, not at all sweet or overpowering. I liked it a lot, would definitely drink it again. It's not at all like a champagne, but a very tasty wine with bubbles, good as an aperitif, or perhaps with some cheese and nuts.
