Paper Kite comes from a remarkable vineyard planted in 1963 and continues to deliver wines of extraordinary consistency. Farmed with intention and care, the site produces fruit with both concentration and finesse. The 2025 vintage feels especially elegant, combining citrus and stone fruit with a subtle savoury complexity and a long, persistent finish. More than a varietal wine, Paper Kite is an expression of a place that has proven itself year after year.
“From a Swartland vineyard planted in 1963, matured for nine months in barrel, 25% new. The nose shows notes of lemon, orange and peach alongside straw, flinty reduction and a subtle yeasty quality. The palate combines remarkable fruit purity, managing intensity without excess weight. Bright acidity provides focus while the finish is dry and persistent. Vivid, sappy and impeccably composed. 96/100”
