Information about "Thorne & Daughters Paper Kite Old Vine Semillon 2024"
The Thorne & Daughters Paper Kite Old Vine Semillon 2024 showcases the heritage of a 60-year-old vineyard in Swartland. With notes of flint, thyme, and lemongrass, this wine represents a masterful example of South African Semillon. On the palate, it reveals a well-rounded richness, underscored by lime, yellow apples, and salted pistachios, culminating in a complex finish of meringue and nougat.
Treatment in the cellar
The grapes are pressed in an old basket press and no sulphur dioxide is added to the juice. The wine undergoes natural alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in a mixture of new Austrian 500-litre barrels and smaller old oak barrels. The wines are bottled without fining or filtration to offer the most natural expression of Semillon from old vines.
