WHITE | BUTTER, BABY

Just think of anything yellow and delicious and you're thinking of Paper Kite - butter, honey, peaches - they're all here.

WHAT WE TASTE

Yellow flowers and honey with a sprinkle of salt
PERFECT PAIRING

With plenty of conviction, she stands up boldly to an array of flavours but works well for some contemplative thinking-drinking if there's no food around.
TEMP CHECK

A nice chill, please
ABOUT Thorne & Daughters

They say, quite simply, that they are raising handcrafted wines along with their two daughters. But we think John & Tasha Seccombe are doing so much more than that! They're raising the profile of forgotten grapes, reflecting on the heritage of a complicated wine-producing country and thoughtfully capturing a new narrative of what that could become.
OUR FAVE THINGS ABOUT THIS WINE

Mother vineyard to the Tin Soldier, Paper Kite is a celebration of the heritage and history of Sémillon in South Africa. It's made from an old vineyard that includes a mix of both 'normal' Sémillon and Sémillon Gris - which is a mutation (Oh, yes! Grapes have mutants!) that's almost entirely unique to South Africa - nobody is completely sure how it even happened!
THE TECHNICAL STUFF

Place: Swartland, South Africa
Grapes: Sémillon Blanc and Sémillon Gris
Style: Rich in flavour, colour and personality
Ingredients: Grapes + minimal sulphur
