Online Fine Wine Tasting - South Africa's Thorne & Daughters with John Thorne Seccombe

Thorne and Daughters Wines was started in 2012 by John and Tasha Seccombe to produce authentic wines in the beautiful Western Cape where they have made their home. To produce their wines they’ve drawn on the great history of wine growing in South Africa, putting together old vineyard parcels with new grape varieties, and making wines with old school simplicity and a modern ‘edge’. Their approach to wine making is simple, honest and gentle, and they look to make wines that tell a story of the Cape of Good Hope.
