From the distributor: Thistle and Weed is a collaboration between the Terblanche and Wiid families. The winery was established in 2015 and is led by viticulturist, Etienne Terblanche and winemaker Stephanie Wiid, who both co-own the project. 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. They've taken their cues for vineyard management from the naturally occurring plants and terroir.
The grapes for this chenin blanc are delicately whole-bunch pressed and then the juice is fermented in French oak barrels and allowed to sit on its lees for 9 months. Notes of white peach, blood orange and the lemon acidity South African chenin blanc is known for.
