Thorne & Daughter Paper Kite Old Vine Semillon 2024 is a hauntingly beautiful expression from a 61-year-old Swartland vineyard blending Semillon blanc and gris clones. Pale straw-gold with savoury gunflint, thyme, lemongrass, lime, yellow apple, and salted pistachio aromas, it delivers focused breadth with meringue and nougat richness on a textured, pithy palate.

Sourced from old bushvine Semillon (blanc and gris clones) on alluvial granite soils in Swartland, hand-harvested grapes are whole-bunch pressed without SO2 additions, settled, then naturally fermented (alcoholic and malolactic) into new Austrian 500L barrels and old French oak. Racked post-fermentation to avoid reduction, matured briefly, and bottled unfiltered with minimal SO2 at 13.2% alcohol, 2.5 g/L RS, and 6.0 g/L TA.

Tasting Notes

Savoury gunflint, thyme, and lemongrass nose with lime, yellow apple, salted pistachio entry leading to meringue and nougat richness. Textured, pithy palate shows waxy lemon peel, chamomile, ripe pear layers with elegant focus and savoury length.

Serving and Cellaring

Serve at 10-12°C in a white Burgundy glass; drink 2026-2032. Pairs with seafood, white fish with herb crust, or goat cheese.
