Thistle & Weed Springdoring 2023 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Paardeberg
R355
Young Winemaker of the Year - Tim Atkin MW SA Report 2024
‘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

| 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. |
