Thorne & Daughters ‘Cat’s Cradle’ Chenin Blanc 2023

R400.00

This vintage sees the addition of fruit from a second site namd Nuweland, a vineyard with deep red soils which add a depth of honeyed fruit to this wine.

Christian Eedes, Winemag:
“Grapes predominantly from the Paardeberg. Elusive aromatics of pear, peach, soft citrus and hay. The palate is nicely weighted – not as austere as some examples of the variety from the area. Fine and detailed – pure fruit, well-integrated acidity and a gently savoury finish. 96/100”

John has drawn on the great history of wine growing here in the Cape, putting together old vineyard parcels with new grape cultivars, and making wines with old-school simplicity and a modern ‘edge’. His approach to wine making is simple, honest and gentle, and he is looking to make wines that tell a story, not wines that shout and bang a drum.
