Thorne & Daughters Paper Kite Old Vine Semillon 2022
Swartland, South Africa
Paper Kite is our expression of old vine South African Semillon, and it is sourced from a 57 year-old vineyard in Swartland. These old clones of Semillon (including a tiny amount of Semillon gris dotted about the vineyards) deliver an expression of Semillon that is very much at odds with the modern, aromatic clones. The wines they produce are hauntingly beautiful and difficult to define.
The wine shows savoury aromas of peat, blackcurrant leaf and black tea with undertones of seville orange marmalade and dark honey. The palate is focused with notes of almond skin and a honeycomb finish.

Winery Profile
THORNE & DAUGHTERS – Swartland
Thorne and Daughters Wines was started in 2012 by John and Tasha Seccombe to produce authentic wines in Western Cape. To produce their wines they’ve drawn on the great history of wine growing there in South Africa, putting together old vineyard parcels with new grape varieties, and making wines with old school simplicity and a modern ‘edge’. Their approach to wine making is simple, honest and gentle, and they are looking to make wines that tell a story of the Cape of Good Hope.
