Thistle and Weed is a collaboration between the Terblanche and Wiid families established in 2015, led by Etienne Terblanche (Viticulturist) and Stephanie Wiid (Winemaker). Inspired by the encroaching weeds found amongst the vines grown in the Cape, Etienne and Steph draw parallels between thistles and weeds and the uncompromising tenacity and survival skills of grapevines. Together, Etienne and Steph set out to discover the best of the Cape’s hidden gems, intent on crafting honest wines that are made with a deep connection to nature and offer the most simple expression of the terroir from which they come.
100% Chenin Blanc. Organic grapes. Dry-farmed vineyards in Paarl. The nose is marked by citrus fruits, mainly orange, and a subtle hint of vanilla. The palate leans more tropical, with pineapple and mango taking center stage. Lees aging adds a yeasty note before a dry, lingering finish.
