Thistle & Weed Khakibos White 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Western Cape
R280
‘41% Verdleho, 28% Chenin Blanc, 17% Palomino, 10% Alvarinho and 4% Finao Pires. Subtle and intricate aromatics of white and yellow fruit, thatch and dried herbs while the palate has great clarity of fruit and bright acidity before a pithy finish. An unusual collection of varieties, but their union is very well judged, and the result is complex without sacrificing approachability in any way.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 95/100
‘Aimed at the by-the-glass market, this is the sort of thing you’d be very happy to find in a restaurant. Partnering Verdelho with 49% Chenin Blanc, Palomino, Albariño and Fernão Pires, this is a seamless blend with subtle skin contact bitterness, citrus, pear, grapefruit and green fig flavours, racy minerality and a waxy undertone. 2024-30’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2023, 94/100
‘Aromas of neroli, preserved lemon and toasted brioche.The richly layered, and expressive palate is kept in line by searing acidity finishing with a playful zest.’ – Winemaker

| Producer information | Thistle and Weed was created in 2015 by Fairview winemaker Stephanie Wiid and Delheim viticulturist Etienne Terblanche. These Young Gunners first burst onto the scene with their maiden-release 2016 Thistle & Weed Duwweltjie Chenin Blanc which garnered a Platter’s 5 star. They produce artisan wines, focusing primarily on Chenin Blanc, and their grapes are sourced from organic and responsibly farmed vineyards from different parts of the Cape. |
