Product Notes
Thorne & Daughters Tin Soldier Semillon Gris is a delightful South African wine presenting a fascinating blend of heritage and innovation. Crafted in the Swartland region, it exhibits a unique, slightly pink hue due to its skin contact. On the nose, expect an explosion of stone fruits and wild herbs that mingles with hints of floral undertones. A sip reveals a silkiness that harmoniously balances rich texture and crisp freshness. Its fine, savoury finish makes it an excellent pairing for seafood. With its flamboyant character and elegant refinement, the Tin Soldier Semillon Gris embodies an exciting twist on classic white wines.
Tasting Notes
The ‘Tin Soldier’ is deep copper in colour due to the partial skin fermentation. On the nose intense aromas of citrus peel and papaya combine with notes of spice, ginger, marzipan and buttered toast. The interplay between sweet and savoury aromas is a key point of interest in the ‘Tin Soldier’ and makes for a subtle and engaging wine. The palate is finely structured, with fresh acidity and full flavours of citrus, gooseberry and sesame seeds. It is dry and delicate, while at the same time showing a core of richness and depth.
