Thorne & Daughters Paper Kite Old Vine Semillon 2024
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%

Bottle Size: 750ml

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.
