Brand & Sons Honeysuckle Riesling 2024 

Life can be austere, which is why, sometimes, you don’t need the same from a young Riesling. A touch of residual sugar offers welcome comfort, and fear not: the crispness isn’t compromised. A medley of lemon, apple, chamomile tea with honey, orange blossom, and as the name suggests, honeysuckle, weave through the off-dry profile. The acid is gentle and fine with an edge of pithiness that melts into a pool of apple sorbet. A wine reminding us to think less.
