The white wine Thorne & Daughters Snakes & Ladders Sauvignon Blanc, vintage 2020 from the winery Thorne & Daughters Wines has been rated in 2022 by Anne Krebiehl MW with 94 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Sauvignon Blanc from the region Citrusdal Mountain in South Africa.
Mandarin peel, subtle smoke and wet pebble make for an unusual but enticing nose. The palate adds a vein of nutty, smooth oak richness that brings out the pithy, profound texture. Lovely lime freshness pervades and illuminates all. This is lovely now, but it really deserves bottle age. Wonderful.
