Snakes & Ladders Sauvignon Blanc Thorne & Daughters, 75cl

Thorne & Daughters was started in 2013 by John and Tasha Seccombe with the aim of producing authentic wines from the Western Cape. It is widely acknowledged to be one of the forerunners of the ‘New Wave’ wine movement in South Africa.

This wine is drawn from two vineyards in an area colloquially known as the ‘Skurfberg’ or 'rough mountain' which is a plateau high up on the West Coast overlooking the Atlantic to the West and the Olifantsrivier Valley and Cederberg Mountains to the East. The soils are deep red sands over gravel beds and the climate is moderated by cooling winds from the Atlantic side. Both vineyards are bush vines and are dry farmed in an area that often sees less than 250mm of rain per year.

An atypical South African Sauvignon Blanc which does away with overbearing primary fruit. This wine has distinct aromas of blackcurrant leaf, lemongrass and smoke. The palate is rich and structured with flavours of citrus peel, ripe fig and jasmine, with vibrant acidity.

Please note, this product contains the allergen sulphites.
