Started in 2013 by John & Tasha Seccombe, Thorne & Daughters are looking for a happy synergy of "people, place, soil & vines". They are part of the New Wave of young SA winemakers that are look to do things differently and do them better. They work with a small number of quality growers in the Western Cape and their main focus is on creating wonderful blends. The Wanderer's Heart is a GSM, with about 66% Grenache, and this give a lovely soft and juicy wine packed with red berries and dark cherries, sweet spice and pepper. Medium tannins and medium acidity, it's lovely on the palate, fresh, elegant and balanced with a good length of finish. I don't think this is for the long term but enjoy it now as something a little different.
