Thorne & Daughters 2021 ‘Paper Kite’ Semillon, Swartland
Retail: $67| Club Price: $58| 6 Bottle Price: $331
Semillon Blanc and Gris planted on alluvial granite soil. The grapes were pressed gently in an old basket press and fermented with wild yeasts in old French oak barrels. The fruit is sourced from a single, registered old-vine block (planted in the early 1960s) in the Paardeberg region of the Swartland. While the vineyard is primarily Semillon Blanc, it features a natural scattering of Semillon Gris—a pink-skinned genetic mutation of the grape that is almost entirely unique to historic South African vineyards. Semillon accounted for over 90% of South Africa’s vineyards. Today it has become nearly obsolete.
