Thorne & Daughters Paper Kite Old Vine Semillon 2023
Swartland, South Africa
Paper Kite is our expression of old vine South African Semillon, and it is sourced from a 60 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, taking many years to achieve their full aromatic expression.
The wine shows savoury aromas of gunflint, thyme and lemongrass. The palate has focus and breadth, with an entry of lime, yellow apples and salted pistachios leading to a rich finish of meringue and nougat.
Alc: 13.06%
