Thorne & Daughters ‘Cat’s Cradle’ Chenin Blanc 2024

R435.00

From three Swartland vineyards, John’s Old Vine Chenin Blanc is spectacularly complex but precise with beautiful aromatics.

Christian Eedes, Winemag:
“Grapes from three Swartland vineyards, two Paardeberg vineyards on granite and one west of Malmesbury on more iron-rich soil. The nose is expressive, offering notes of pear, peach, a touch of lemon, hay and florals. The palate is rich and intense, yet brimming with energy, the finish deeply savoury. Dense but equally remarkably taut. 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.
