It's intensely aromatic on the nose, showing green apple, fig, fresh herb and lime peel characters, leading to a wonderfully flavoursome palate offering excellent fruit purity with crisp acidity, finishing splendidly long and lively. A gorgeous rendition of the variety, offering fabulous drinking. At its best: now to 2029

This 2022 Sophia's Godmother Sauvignon Blanc in blessed with a gorgeous nose: juniper, cassis, sugar snap pea, talc and crushed shells. In the mouth, the wine is tight as a drum, delicate and totally focused. Quite different from the Sauvignon Blancs from elsewhere, this is possessed of a distinctly powdery character (I'm not hinting at anything: it is airy, breezy and fine); I often write poudré, a reference to finely milled face powder. This has that inflection. The acid is a high point, and although there are things about the wine that suggest it will age several years with grace, I would be inclined to drink it in its extreme youth, such is the prettiness of the fruit.
