ONLY 1 CASE LEFT.

Notes of grapefruit and trademark Swartland thatch. Edgy aromatics, limes and more citrus on the pristine palate leaving a crystalline mineral finish with plenty nervous tension.

The vineyard is nestled in the Joubertskloof on the Paardeberg Mountain – the landmark of the Swartland.  Rooted in pure granite soils and sheltered from the blazing afternoon sun, it produces pristine fruit with edgy aromatics and the trademark Swartland thatch.

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, they 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.
