THISTLE & WEED Duwweltjie Chenin Blanc 2022

The grapes were delicately whole bunch pressed and naturally fermented in older French oak barrels, only the free run juice was used. The wine matured on the lees for 10 months prior to bottling, unfiltered.

Notes of tangerine, tangy grapefruit zest and ther versalite charm of pineapple in all forms - from sun-dried aromas to youthful green flavours. An effortless combination of layered creaminess with a refreshing and lively finish.

Inspired and named after the Duwweltjies (Tribulus terrestris – Devils thorns) growing in the vineyard that cling to the soles of your shoes — reminders of paths travelled and those yet to be explored. This Chenin blanc is sourced from a heritage bush vine vineyard, planted in 1961, on the north western tip of the Muldersvlei bowl in Paarl.
