Thistle & Weed Springdoring 2022

R383.00

Region: Swartland

Tasting Note:

‘Grapes from a Paardeberg vineyard planted in 1982. White peach, thatch and some gravel-road dustiness on the nose while the palate is rich and round – good fruit concentration and well-integrated acidity, the finish gently savoury.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 93/100

‘Notes of passionfruit and thatch. Avant-garde aromatics, limes and a medley of citrus on the pristine palate leaving crystalline mineral finish with plenty nervous tension.’ – Winemaker

Thistle & Weed, established in 2015, is a collaboration between the Terblanche and Wiid families; 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. 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.
This heritage bush vine vineyard, planted in 1982, is nestled in the Joubertskloof on the Paardeberg Mountain – the landmark of the Swartland. The vines are rooted in pure granite soils and sheltered from the blazing afternoon sun; vines that are as resolute and resistant as the Springdoring.
