Paper Kite Old Vine Semillon 2015

Paper Kite is a new wine in the Thorne and Daughters stable. Our searches through the Cape Winelands bore fruit in the 2015 vintage when we were lucky enough to buy some fruit from one of the oldest producing vineyards in South Africa and the oldest producing Semillon blanc vineyard (111 year old vineyard)

Winemakers personal tasting note:

'True to Semillon's ability to produce very long-lived wines, the wine is very much in an embryonic phase of its life. It shows some spice, floral and savoury tones, with flavours of green melon and sweet herbs. Its incredible length is testament to the great age of the vineyard.' - John Seacombe
