Thistle & Weed

Thistle & Weed is a Stellenbosch winery producing white wines from the Coastal Region of South Africa's Western Cape. The portfolio centers on Chenin Blanc, a variety that thrives in this maritime climate, yielding wines of mineral precision and aging potential. The Duwweltjie and Springdoring Chenin Blancs both achieve 90-point ratings from prestige critics including Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate. The Khakibos White, made from Verdelho, rounds out the range at the same critical level. These results reflect the winery's focus on cool-climate white wine production, where Stellenbosch's elevation and ocean influence shape wines of structure and freshness. The consistent performance of these bottlings across multiple vintages demonstrates a deliberate approach to varietal expression in one of South Africa's most established wine regions.
