About this Item
Thistle and Weed was created in 2015 by Fairview winemaker Stephanie Wiid and Delheim viticulturist Etienne Terblanche. These Young Gunners first burst onto the scene with their maiden-release 2016 Thistle & Weed Duwweltjie Chenin Blanc which garnered a Platter’s 5 star. They produce artisan wines, focusing primarily on Chenin Blanc, and their grapes are sourced from organic and responsibly farmed vineyards from different parts of the Cape.
Inspired and named after the Duwweltjies (Tribulus terrestris – Devils thorns) growing in the vineyard that cling to the soles of your shoes —reminders of paths travelled and those yet to be explored. This Chenin blanc is sourced from a heritage bush vine vineyard, planted in 1956, on the north western tip of the Muldersvlei bowl in Paarl.
Winemakers personal tasting note:
'Stone fruit, fresh pineapple and hints of citrus on the nose followed by a crisp, textured palate with subtle oaking. Pairs well with family, friends and any occasion around the dining table.' - Stephanie Wiid
