Thistle & Weed 'Duwweltjie' Chenin Blanc, Paarl 2021
From a windswept Certified Heritage vineyard planted in 1961, whose gnarled old vines bring both intensity and subtlety to the energy and structure of this impressive multi-layered chenin. The name comes from a three-pronged thorn of the caltrop family, as depicted on the attractive label.

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.
