STORY
Our original Sofia sparkling wine was created as a gift from a father to his daughter as a celebration of love and beauty. Francis Coppola Sofia Riesling continues this tradition by bringing you a wine that is equally graceful, provocative and alluring.
WINEMAKER’S NOTES
Our Riesling grapes are grown in the cool vineyards of Monterey County, where moderate daytime temperatures and a prevailing fog end up lengthening the growing season by causing the grapes to ripen more slowly. This condition coupled with brisk nighttime temperatures helps the grapes sustain their crisp acidity; a critical component where Riesling is concerned.
We wanted our Sofia Riesling to pair well with a variety of foods, so we have created an off-dry style that has just a touch of sweetness that is offset by an equal amount of crisp natural acidity in order to maintain a good balance on the palate. The texture and body of the wine, along with the aromatic flavors makes it a lovely match for spicy Asian cuisine, ham, and chicken with fruit chutney.
TASTING NOTES
Our 2010 Sofia Riesling boasts an alluring range of flavors and scents due to the wild weather shifts and late harvest we experienced. Vibrant flavors of lime zest, peaches, and pineapple are offset by nuances of quince, honey, flowers, and spice; all perfectly interwoven with a touch of minerality.
