Thorne & Daughters Rocking Horse 2021

Rocking Horse is our cornerstone wine and takes its name from a wooden rocking horse that we made for our daughters out of old oak barrel staves. The wine is composed from a number of carefully selected vineyard sites in the Western Cape. The aromas are of lime leaf, white peach, exotic woods, and rosemary. In the mouth, the wine starts broad and rich, resolving into a keen line of acidity supported by a gentle tannin.

All our wines are very naturally vinified. The grapes are whole bunch pressed in an old basket press. No additions are made to the juice and natural fermentation is allowed to occur in old oak barrels. A small amount of SO2 is added after MLF and adjusted just before bottling
