From the cool climes of Orange, Brangayne has delivered an off-dry Riesling that leans heavily into balance and drinkability.
Jasmine flowers and lemon blossom gently diffuse from the glass, setting up a fragrant and inviting introduction. There's a joyous, rounded presence through the mouth. Cold-pressed apple juice and lime juice light the way across a juicy mid-palate, while a touch of residual sweetness broadens its appeal. The fruit and sugar walk hand in hand. Importantly, while it's far removed from the piercing, acid-driven examples of Riesling, a crisp finish keeps it true to its varietal roots. A shimmer of lemon sherbet tang rises up on the close, leaving a fresh and lively impression. An easy recommendation, this is armed and ready for Thai takeaway. Tick!
