Sophie's Godmother Sauvignon Blanc

" Smoky nose, with subtle tropical notes, slight reductive notes as well – gun smoke. The palate has plenty of zesty acidity, pithy notes, mandarin skin and good concentration. Very fresh and well made – love the zippy and brittle mid palate, racy and energetic. "

" 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.
