Thorne & Daughter Paper Kite Semillion 2022 750ml

Semillon, a foundational varietal in South Africa's viticultural history, now occupies a minor role despite its historical significance. Nonetheless, several remarkable old Semillon vineyards remain. Paper Kite epitomizes old vine South African Semillon, sourced from a 57-year-old vineyard in Swartland. These ancient clones, including a rare presence of Semillon gris, contrast sharply with modern aromatic variants, yielding wines of profound elegance and complexity. The wine exhibits savoury aromas of peat, blackcurrant leaf, and black tea, accompanied by hints of Seville orange marmalade and dark honey. The palate is precise, featuring notes of almond skin and a honeycomb finish.
