Silverthorn The Genie

Silverthorn Wines has built its reputation as a specialist Cap Classique producer, focusing exclusively on traditional-method sparkling wine since 2004. The estate is based in Robertson, where lime-rich, shale-influenced soils and a cool-climate sparkling wine philosophy help shape wines with freshness, finesse and structure. The house is known for small production, meticulous cellar work and expressive storytelling across its range, and The Genie fits that identity perfectly.

Winemaking and Style

The Genie is hand-harvested in the early hours of mid-February, then whole-bunch pressed at a very low recovery rate of only 500 litres per ton. That gentle pressing helps avoid the extraction of bitter tannins and preserves the delicacy of the juice. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at 15°C, after which the wine undergoes secondary fermentation in bottle and is matured on the lees for a minimum of 15 months before manual riddling and disgorgement.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Bright onion-skin pink with a fine, twirling bead of bubbles.

Nose: Exotic and fragrant, with notes of Turkish delight and rose water.

Palate: Fresh raspberries and sherbet come through clearly, supported by a velvety texture, fine mousse and a long, graceful finish.

The overall profile is charming, polished and slightly unexpected, which is exactly what makes Silverthorn The Genie such an appealing sparkling wine for celebrations, gifting or relaxed indulgence.

Food Pairing

Silverthorn recommends pairing The Genie with salmon gravadlax on crisp rye toast, Parma ham with red figs, or strawberries macerated with black pepper. Those pairings underline the wine’s balance of red fruit brightness, savoury finesse and aromatic lift.

Accolades

Silverthorn The Genie has earned notable recognition over the years. It won Double Gold at the 2017 Rosé Rocks Competition, where the winery noted it was among only a handful of winners in the Double Gold MCC category.
