Thorne & Daughters 'Rocking Horse' Cape White Blend 2023

The 2023 vintage is one of layers and tension, with aromas of flint, peach and jasmine. The palate follows with gentle tropical notes, vanilla and yuzu on a tightly coiled finish..

Rocking Horse is the cornerstone Thorne & Daughters wine blend and takes its name from a wooden rocking horse that John and Tasha made for their daughters out of old oak barrel staves. It is the perfect example of wholeness and totality in a wine and is composed of a number of carefully selected vineyard sites throughout the Western Cape.
