Thistle & Weed Nastergal Red 2021 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Western Cape
R280
‘36% Tempranillo, 24% Alicante Bouschet, 18% Touriga Nacional, 8% Pontac, 7% Souzao, 7% Touriga Franca. Matured for 12 months in third-fill barrels. Heady aromatics of dark berries, flowers and herbs while the fruit is very much to the fore on the palate – juicy, rich and full with bright acidity and crunchy tannins. This wine has that sense of unfamiliarity it’s always had but this vintage shows more vinosity than previous.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 92/100

| 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. |
