The Paper Kite 2024 is a tribute to old-vine South African Semillon, a grape that once formed the backbone of the country’s wine industry. While now a smaller presence, incredible old Semillon vineyards still exist, and they’re fortunate to work with some of them.

This wine is crafted from a 61-year-old vineyard in the Swartland, featuring a mix of Semillon Blanc and a touch of Semillon Gris. These ancient clones produce a unique expression of Semillon, vastly different from modern, aromatic styles. The result is a hauntingly beautiful wine that takes time to fully reveal its complex aromatic profile.

Tasting Notes

The Paper Kite offers savoury aromas of hay, delicate yellow fruits, and fresh nut flesh. The palate is both focused and broad, opening with notes of lime, salted melon, and macadamia nuts. It leads to a rich, satisfying finish of meringue and nougat.

Vineyard Age: 61 years old

Soil Type: Alluvial granite
