Khakibos White

Pairs well with shellfish, particularly freshly shucked oysters. also pairs well with spicy Asian dishes.

Planted in granite soils, on the slopes of the Helderberg, this trellised Verdelho vineyard profits from the cooling effects of False Bay a few kilometers away.

The wine was allowed to mature on lees for a year prior to bottling, unfiltered.

The grapes were delicately whole bunch pressed and naturally fermented older French oak barrels, only the free run juice was used.

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.
