Thorne and Daughters Snakes and Ladders 2022 is a full-bodied white wine produced from Sauvignon Blanc grapes in the Citrusdal region of South Africa. Snakes and Ladders is produced from hardy Sauvignon Blanc bush vines planted at high elevation in the mountains above Citrusdal. Hot, dry conditions in this site dictates that the vines struggle in search of water, creating intensely flavoured grapes. Producer note. "Crushed blackcurrant leaf, opulent exotic fruit and smoky mineral notes form an intensely complex nose. The palate is rich and structured with green mango, sourdough, earth and ripe fig cut by saline acidity."
92 Robert Parker
The 2022 Snakes & Ladders, crafted entirely from Sauvignon Blanc, displays marzipan and nutty characteristics in the glass. The wine features a nose of lemon yogurt and is mineral-driven. It delivers a linear, bright beam of acid across the mid-palate while it unpacks and unfolds with fantastic texture, leading to a crisp, mineral-laced finish. A total of 2,100 bottles were produced. - Anthony Mueller
90 Vinous
- The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Snakes & Ladders is picked upwards of 14% alcohol. Otherwise, it is too shrill. It undergoes 100% malo and matures in used oak. The nose shows lemon zest and green apple, light crushed stone aromas coming through with aeration. The palate is taut and fresh, a nervy Sauvignon Blanc despite the 14.3% alcohol (final) with a crisp malic finish. A wake-me-up Sauvignon Blanc - nothing wrong with that.
