Thistle & Weed Springdoring 2023

R402.00

Region: Swartland

Tasting Note:

‘Grapes from a Paardeberg vineyard planted in 1980. The nose shows hay, lime, white peach and a hint of flinty reduction. The palate is lithe and energetic – good fruit concentration, well integrated acidity, the finish pithy in texture and nicely savoury. Alc: 12%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 96/100

‘Springdoring showcases an old-vine block that was planted on the decomposed granite of the Paardeberg in 1982. Sappy, stony and mouth-watering, it’s very elegant for a Swartland Chenin Blanc, with notes of citrus and petrichor and an appealing lightness of touch. 2024-29’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 93/100

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.
