Description
Thorne & Daughters Tin Soldier 2024 showcases a striking pale copper color resulting from a unique seven-day skin fermentation using rare Semillon (Gris) grapes. The nose delivers an expressive bouquet of caramel, apricot kernel, and buttery toast, painting a seamless portrait of savory and sweet notes that characterize the essence of the Tin Soldier. On the palate, it reveals a refined structure paired with fresh acidity and generous hints of quince, mandarin peel, baking spices, apple, and rooibos tea. This wine is dry and delicate, yet its lush core brings remarkable depth, ensuring a long and focused finish. Named after iconic children’s toys, Thorne & Daughters reflects upon the historic prominence of Semillon in the South African wine scene, reminiscent of timeless tin soldiers now relegated to mere shadows.
