Thor Vintners
There might not be a hammer-yielding god luring in the wings, but the inspiration behind this brand is fuelled by a thundering desire to make wine with character and personality. As you join us on this vinous journey, you too will find the strength of this mythical figure channelled through the courage of one humble, family man. We invite you to step into the world of Thor Vintners, a winery nestled in the heart of the Swartland. Here we focus on small-batch artisanal wines inspired by ultra-premium Rhône blends, only bringing it home to this unique corner of the world. Our vision is to specialize in Swartland grapes and where the selection and vinification thereof are intended to become rare and iconic blends.
Description
There are NOT a lot of times I am dumbfounded, but this is one of those vintages. If you ask me what kind of white I like… this is it! Everything about this wine turned out to be perfect. The mouthfeel, the concentrated ripe apricot, the zesty acidity, leaving your mouth watering and the seducing sweet honeysuckle afterthought, like a whisper in the wind. The stuff of legends, I say! I will try and drink as many bottles myself and maybe spare you some…
Food Pairing
Serve at 15–18°C. Rolled pork loin stuffed with wild fennel and mushroom.
