Thorne & Daughters - Sand Castles 2025

Thorne & Daughters
Sand Castles 2025
12 (2 x 6) 750ml
50% Sauvignon Blanc, 50% Sémillon

Wine of Origin: Olifantsrivier and Paardeberg
Winemaker: John Seccombe

The wine marries John’s fascination with classic, Old-World wines and the wildness of our dryland Paardeberg Sémillon and Skurfberg Sauvignon blanc vineyards in the Western Cape. The 2025 vintage is exceptionally elegant and concentrated. Meticulous and minimalist winemaking allowed for complexity and age-worthiness over stark, primary fruit.

Tasting Notes: Oyster shells, blackcurrant, green plums and a touch of sage lead the aromatics, while a mouth-coating palate shows meringue and almond paste with a hint of nutmeg from deft oaking, set against fresh, zippy ruby grapefruit.

Ready for drinking from 2028 to 2036.
