Thorne & Daughters Snakes & Ladders Sauvignon Blanc 2023 750ml

Snakes and Ladders takes its inspiration from the wild nature of these elevated bushvine vineyards high up in the mountains, as well as the highs and lows of farming these incredible parcels in such a challenging climate. The heat and water scarcity push the roots of these vines to search deeply for every ounce of nutrients they can extract from the soil.

The wine, crafted from these pristine grapes, is deeply complex. We vinify it simply, starting with whole bunch pressing the grapes, followed by months of cool maturation in old oak barrels. Aromas of blackcurrants, crushed bay leaves, and nori are balanced by tropical fruit tones, forming an intensely complex nose. The palate is rich and structured, with gooseberry and granadilla cut by saline acidity.
