Thorne & Daughters is renowned for their dedication to crafting wines that authentically represent the terroir of the Western Cape region in South Africa. With meticulous attention to detail and innovative winemaking techniques, they have earned a special place in the hearts of wine enthusiasts. Their 'Rocking Horse' Cape White Blend 2021 is a beautiful fusion of grape varieties that showcases the artistry of their winemaking. This blend combines Chenin Blanc, Roussanne, and Chardonnay grapes to create a wine that is greater than the sum of its parts.
This blend opens with a tantalizing array of aromas upon uncorking. Ripe pear and citrus notes are intertwined with delicate floral undertones, creating a symphony of scents that awaken the senses. Each sip reveals a burst of flavors that unfold in layers. The richness of Chardonnay, the texture of Roussanne, and the vibrant acidity of Chenin Blanc come together to create a harmonious taste. Hints of honeydew melon, lemon zest, and a touch of toasted oak add a subtle complexity to the wine. With closed eyes, one can imagine being transported to the lush vineyards of the Western Cape. The 'Rocking Horse' blend captures the essence of the region with its mineral-driven character and a refreshing finish that lingers like a fond memory.
Great wines are best enjoyed with great food, and the 'Rocking Horse' Cape White Blend 2021 is no exception. Its versatility makes it an ideal accompaniment to a wide range of dishes. Pair it with grilled seafood to enhance the wine's citrus notes, or savor it alongside creamy pasta to complement its textured richness. Each bottle is a testament to the team's passion for winemaking, their respect for the land, and their desire to create something truly exceptional.
We also offer other fantastic white wine options, such as Terras Gauda O Rosal, Irrewarra, Chardonnay.
