From Skurfberg Sauvignon Blanc. Matured in old oak. A very particular and intriguing wine – the nose shows quite pronounced reduction before cut grass, hay, lemon, green melon and pineapple. The palate is marked by concentrated fruit plus punchy acidity – intensely flavoured and not without texture, the finish long and dry. 93/100 CE – Winemag.co.za

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”.
