Thistle & Weed 'Brandnetel' Chenin Blanc, Stellenbosch 2022
Named after the stinging nettles found around this Stellenbosch vineyard not far from the sea, this is a wine that shows tropical notes of mango and Cape gooseberry with great tension on the palate that's due to the coastal influence.

Thistle & Weed
This exciting young partnership turned heads even on the release of their maiden vintages. The name pays homage to ‘the tenacity and survival skills of thistles and weeds’, and each wine is named after an indigenous species, beautifully represented on labels that are as captivating as the bottles’ contents.
This couple that is not a couple is a partnership between former Delheim viticulturist Etienne Terblanche and Stephanie Wiid, winemaker at Fairview. Contacts, insider knowledge, artistic flair and natural instincts have clearly all played their part here, so that this is definitely a new venture to watch.
