Thistle & Weed 'Duwweltjie' Chenin Blanc, Paarl 2022
From a cool site in Paarl picked over several tries and named after the Devil's Thorns plants that adorn the vineyard, this South African chenin has great power and richness of fruit complemented by a distinct saline minerality and grip on the palate.

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.
