Rocking Horse is a cornerstone wine and takes its name from a wooden rocking horse that they made for their daughters out of old oak barrel staves. This is Thorne & Daughters signature wine and it is where all their work comes together to make their most complete wine.

Critics Ratings
'The 2014 Rocking Horse Cape White has a more introspective nose than the Zoetrope, a little more resinous and waxy, yellow flowers developing with aeration. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, a little viscosity. It gently builds in the mouth with hints of fennel and sage towards the focused finish. This is one of those understated wines that only reveals its character with aeration in the glass. In a word...cerebral. 2016-2030' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 92/100 (Nov 2015)
'Creamy, vanilla-scented spice. Cinnamon and clove too. Banana yoghurt fruit. Sophisticated, modern, well-blended.' - Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (May 2016)
