Thorne & Daughters, renowned for their meticulous craftsmanship in the Cape winelands, creates wines that transcend expectations, and the Rocking Horse 2022 is no exception. This blend of local Cape varieties shows the depth and diversity the region is capable of.

The wine opens with an inviting bouquet of dark fruit—blackberries and plums—complemented by savory spice and a hint of herbs. On the palate, it offers a beautiful interplay between richness and freshness, with well-integrated tannins that provide structure without overpowering. It’s a wine that’s both approachable and complex, making it a standout for those who enjoy wines with both character and finesse.

The Rocking Horse 2022 is a perfect expression of the terroir, with a smooth texture that wraps around a firm, slightly smoky finish. Think of it as a more refined take on a bold Cape red, with just enough lift to keep it fresh. This wine is ideal for a wide range of dishes, from slow-braised lamb to grilled vegetables, or even a rich charcuterie board. It’s a perfect match for those who love structured, yet fresh red blends, and anyone looking to explore the depth of South Africa’s wine scene.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 90
"The 2022 White Blend Rocking Horse Cape is mainly Roussanne and Semillon (this blend changes every year) sourced from seven vineyards. This misses a little definition on the nose, cohering with aeration, bringing crushed stone, linden and wet wool scents. This bides its time. The palate is fresh on the entry with lemon rind and orange pith, fresh and energetic, quite linear and saline, though just a little shorter on the finish at the moment. Very fine." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 90
"The 2022 Rocking Horse Cape White, a blend of Sémillon, Roussanne, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay and Clairette Blanche, with 13.2% alcohol, showcases a fresh and mineral profile that is slightly shy. The wine kicks with citrus and offers mineral tension before gliding to a cerebral and shy finish. This aged in old, neutral barrels for 10 months with minimal intervention and malolactic fermentation." -Anthony Mueller
