🍏 Thorne & Daughters – ‘Tin Soldier’ Semillon Gris: A Textural Marvel from the Swartland 🇿🇦
South Africa, Swartland | Semillon Gris

Intriguing, nuanced, and utterly distinctive, Tin Soldier is a rare expression of Semillon Gris—crafted with gentle precision by Thorne & Daughters. This is a white wine that defies expectations, offering both delicacy and depth in a beautifully structured, quietly powerful package.

🌾 Textural, Bright & Beautifully Unusual:
The nose is subtle but inviting, with hints of citrus zest, toasted sesame, and toffee apple. On the palate, it’s dry and finely etched, balancing crisp acidity with savoury undertones and a gentle richness at its core. The texture is standout—silken, layered, and lightly grippy, drawing out a long, mineral finish.

🌿 A South African Original with Old-World Soul:
Made from bush vines in the Swartland and fermented with minimal intervention, Tin Soldier reflects the country’s new wave of terroir-driven, small-batch winemaking. It’s Semillon like you’ve never tasted—quietly radical and deeply rewarding.

🍽️ Perfect with Subtle, Earthy Dishes:
Pair with grilled cauliflower, sesame-crusted fish, roast chicken with preserved lemon, or aged cheese with nuts. A brilliant companion to complex vegetarian fare or anything with a savoury edge.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Tin Soldier is a wine of contrast—fresh yet rich, delicate yet grounded, familiar yet rare. For adventurous drinkers and lovers of textural whites, this is a bottle that will both surprise and delight.
