Information about "Thorne & Daughters Tin Soldier 2023"

Thorne & Daughters Tin Soldier 2024 showcases a striking pale copper color resulting from a unique seven-day skin fermentation using rare Semillon (Gris) grapes. The nose delivers an expressive bouquet of caramel, apricot kernel, and buttery toast, painting a seamless portrait of savory and sweet notes that characterize the essence of the Tin Soldier. On the palate, it reveals a refined structure paired with fresh acidity and generous hints of quince, mandarin peel, baking spices, apple, and rooibos tea. This wine is dry and delicate, yet its lush core brings remarkable depth, ensuring a long and focused finish.

Named after iconic children's toys, Thorne & Daughters reflects upon the historic prominence of Semillon in the South African wine scene, reminiscent of timeless tin soldiers now relegated to mere shadows.

Treatment in the cellar Thorne & Daughters Tin Soldier is a skin-fermented wine made from the Semillon Gris grape variety, which is almost unique in South Africa and a remnant of a time when Semillon was the grape on which the South African wine industry was built. The vineyard was established from a Sélection Massale of Semillon Gris cuttings from a neighbouring Semillon vineyard planted in 1964. This wine is bottled without fining or filtering, allowing natural sediment to form in the bottle.
