Thorne and Daughters Paper Kite 2022 is a full-bodied single-vineyard Semillon produced from old vines in the Swartland region of South Africa. Planted on alluvial and granitic soil, the vineyard from which John and Tasha Seccombe produce their Paper Kite cuvée is planted with a number of old clones of Semillon (including a tiny amount of Semillon Gris ) which deliver a very distinctive expression of the grape variety. Spontaneous fermentation took place in old oak barrels and the wine was matured in the same neutral oak. Producer note on the 2022 vintage. " The wine shows savoury aromas of gunflint, thyme and lemongrass. The palate has focus and breadth, with an entry of lime, yellow apples and salted pistachios leading to a rich finish of meringue and nougat.”

The 2023 Sémillon Paper Kite Old Vine comes from vines planted in 1962 in Swartland. It was whole-bunch-pressed and aged in around 20% new Stockinger oak for ten months. This presents a well-defined bouquet of white flowers, dandelion, touches of candle wax and light crushed-stone-like scents. The palate is taut and fresh with a twist of bitter lemon. Vibrant and energetic, it delivers wonderful sapidity on the finish with a slightly nutty aftertaste.
