Thorne & Daughters Tin Soldier Sémillon 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Swartland
R375
‘Half of this Semillon Gris spent seven days on its skins during fermentation, giving the resulting wine extra concentration, structure and grip. Very much a food wine, it has notes of quince, tangerine and black tea, understated oak and an appealing bitterness on the finish. Very complex. 2023-28’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2023, 94/100
‘From Swartland Semillon Gris, 50% fermented on the skins for approximately one week. The nose is currently shy with notes of orange, potpourri, dried herbs and a hint of ginger. The palate is rather lean and reined in – fresh acidity with a saline finish. Refined and detailed, some light phenolic grip adding textural interest. Alc: 12.5%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 94/100
