These Franschhoek Semillon vineyards have acclimatised to the harsh conditions and alluvial soils in which they grow, producing unique wines with intense depth and complexity. These old vineyards' deep root systems and high skin-to-pulp ratio produce intensely complex, well structured wines with unbelievable ageing potential. Two of the vineyards used for the Boekenhoutskloof Semillon, planted in 1902 and 1942, are unirrigated bush vines, growing on little to no slope in the ancient Franschhoek Riverbed. These vineyards are well established on alluvial soils with a high loam content. The third vineyard, planted in 1936, is located further up the valley, on a 45-degree south facing slope, on decomposed granite and quartz. Some of the vines within these vineyards have naturally mutated from Semillon to Semillon Gris, which has a slight red hue and higher skin-to-pulp ratio. The Semillon Gris vines naturally require more ripening time and are only harvested during a second picking. The team opted to use a small portion of historic Muscat d'Alexandrie, planted in 1902, to enhance the wine's aromatic character. Grapes were whole bunch pressed and spontaneously fermented in 225L classic barriques and concrete eggs. Maturation occurs at low temperatures, without sulphur additions, for 14 months: 70% in new French Oak barriques and 30% in concrete eggs. This oxidative approach at low temperatures enables them to enhance the old vine Semillon's textural elements, creating exceptional structure in a wine that can certainly stand the test of time. The Muscat d'Alexandrie was skin-fermented and matured in clay amphora. The nose is fresh and inviting with intense aromas of orange blossom, marmalade and jasmine and hints of potpourri, nettles and beeswax. Pure flavours of tangerine, honeysuckle, nectarine and notes of Cape fynbos, oregano and chamomile create a multi-layered palate, with soft, beautifully integrated acidity and subtle nuances of khaki bush and fenugreek from prolonged yet very gentle oaking, lending complexity and balance. The mid-palate is dry and richly textured, with a mouth-filling, lithe body and a vibrant, attractive mineral streak. The wine is arresting, precise and focused, yet elegant and smooth, with grapefruit, lemon curd and lime lingering on a clean, slightly saline, mouthwatering finish.

It is the cornerstone wine of Thorne \u0026amp; Daughters as it embodies their spirit of craftsmanship and self reliance. Rocking Horse is a blend of Semillon, Roussanne, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and Clairette sourced from a number of parcels around the Western Cape. Once at the winery the grapes were whole bunch pressed in an old Vaslin press, which ensures an oxidative pressing and yields a very clear juice. The juice was left to settle overnight then racked off the heavy solids and transferred to old French oak barrels ranging in size from 225 litres to 600 litres. Fermentation occurred naturally in barrel and the wines were then allowed to undergo spontaneous malolactic fermentation. Sulphur dioxide was first added in August following the vintage when the wines had had time to settle. The Rocking Horse spent approximately 10 months on its fine lees after fermentation, prior to blending and bottling. Deep gold in colour it displays aromas of yellow plum, kumquat kiwi fruit, mace, apple skin and yellow flowers.
