Information about "Thorne & Daughters Tin Soldier 2024"
Thorne & Daughters Tin Soldier 2024 captivates the eye with its distinctive hue of pale copper, a result of the remarkable seven-day skin fermentation of rare Semillon (Gris) grapes. This expressive wine enchants the nose with a complex bouquet of caramel, apricot kernel, and buttery toast, masterfully blending savory and sweet nuances that define the Tin Soldier's essence. The palate reveals a finely structured wine, driven by vibrant acidity and generous flavors of quince, mandarin peel, baking spices, apple, and rooibos tea. It is dry and delicate, yet anchored by a lush core and notable depth, delivering extraordinary length and impeccable focus.
Named after archetypal children's toys, Thorne & Daughters honors Semillon's historic standing in South Africa's wine heritage, likening it to the beloved tin soldiers that have become mere shadows of their former glory.
