Thorne & Daughters, `Copper Pot` Pinot Noir 6 Bottle Case 75cl

The nose has notes of bright pomegranate, hibiscus and redcurrants with some underlying juniper and cedar tones. The palate is juicy and lively, showing an integrated acidity and fine tannins with generous red fruit flavours. Zesty citrus, nutmeg and earthy tones come through on the dry finish.

Thorne & Daughters was started in 2013 by John and Tasha Seccombe with the aim of producing authentic wines from the Western Cape. It is widely acknowledged to be one of the forerunners of the ‘New Wave’ wine movement in South Africa. Thorne & Daughters is mainly focused on producing Cape white blends, from 15 different growers in Bot River, Stellenbosch, Voor Paardeberg, Swartland, Citrusdal, Franschhoek and Overberg. Fruit sourcing has relied on a network of close winemaking friends and knocking on doors to gather the various parcels with which they work. John and Tasha did not want to be limited geographically, so the net was cast wide and has been driven by “a happy synergy of people, place, soil and vines”.
