Thistle And Weed
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.
Description
Bright pale red in the glass with unsullied delicate floral notes with a refreshingly herbal hint. Flavours of red fruits, roasted pepper and fynbos meet you on the palate, finishing with chalky tannins.
Food Pairing
Pair with venison pie or ostrich fillet.
