Thorne & Daughters `Tin Soldier` Swartland, South Africa, is a distinctive Orange wine crafted from 100% Semillon Gris. This dry, still wine undergoes a seven-day skin contact fermentation, followed by indigenous yeast fermentation and malolactic fermentation in old French oak barrels, remaining on its lees for complexity. It reveals distinct aromas of tea leaves, yellow peach, warm toast, and grapefruit, complemented by peppery, herbal notes and an underlying lanolin character. The palate is rich, textured, and creamy, balanced by refreshing salinity, finishing with spiced apple and ginger. This vegan and vegetarian-friendly wine is versatile with poultry or spiced vegetarian dishes.

Winemaking
The wine underwent a seven-day skin contact fermentation to extract tannins and develop colour. Extraction was carefully managed to preserve the wine's delicate character while building complexity. A portion of directly pressed wine was incorporated to enhance the aromatic profile and achieve balance between fruit and savoury elements.
