Bera is a soft and
plush wine with creamy foam, lemony mousse and loads of fragrant peach blossom,
honey and sweet almond on the bouquet. You’ll love the intensity of
elegant, fresh, rich flavours and
vibrant acidity.
Your Review:
Literally every said this smelled like soap, and tasted like soda. Thats not ro say it was bad, but it had very distinctive flavors and aromas. I don't mean to be a snob, but I really think it would benefit from not being so bubbly. It was just a lot of sweetness and a lot of carbonation; it was like a bath bomb from Bath + Body Works children's section. Definitely honey and fruit on the nose. That carried through into the taste. The bubbles helped make it not seem so syrupy, but still not my taste
