Mayfield Vineyard Estate Range'Sophie's Godmother' Sauvignon Blanc

Pineapple skin, Alphonso mango, fresh coconut, wild limes and gardenia florals. Tropical, with an exotic edge; acidity jogs along without being curt. A touch of lychee juice and apple sorbet on the finish. Loads of fruit and ripe tropical island aromas. It's a wine that instantly puts you at ease – like being greeted with a cocktail when you're on holiday.

Gold Medal, 2023 Orange Wine Show

This vintage delivered sensational aromatics of passionfruit blossom, mango skin and ripe logans. A hint of pine lime and guava, but so too are there baked custard, red sea salt and begonia florals. This leans into the fleshy style but with the length of saline acidity and raciness of its high-altitude site. Mayfield has nailed its sauvignon blanc style here, and I hope it continues.

This 2023 Sophie's Godmother Sauvignon Blanc is citrusy and fresh on the nose, with orange blossom, loquat, nashi pear and brine. The wine is concentrated, talc-y and saline, with a gentle drift of phenolics across the mid-palate. All class. It's a lovely wine. A superstar.
