THISTLE AND WEED KHAKIBOS WHITE BLEND 750 ml

Discover the Thistle and Weed Khakibos White Blend, a South African white wine that captures the spirit of innovation in the Stellenbosch foothills. This blend draws from the distinctive qualities of Khakibos, botanically Tagetes Minuta, a grape reminiscent of Verdelho. Over the last twenty-five years, growers have nurtured it alongside similar varieties in the Cape's unique climate, turning newcomers into reliable performers on the landscape.

What sets this wine apart starts with its origins. Khakibos arrived recently to these slopes, joining forces with non-native plants that have put down deep roots. The result is a fresh expression from a region known for bold adaptations. Now in its fourth vintage, the wine reflects steady refinement, offering a sip of place and persistence.

Beyond the vine, Khakibos carries a practical edge—it naturally wards off insects and mosquitoes. This multifaceted plant brings more than flavor to the glass; it embodies resourcefulness in every pour. Picture enjoying it outdoors without a worry, as its heritage doubles as a subtle guardian against summer pests.

At the heart of this creation lies the shared dream of Stephanie and Etienne. Their blend unites Iberian white varieties, spotlighting drought-resistant Portuguese grapes that stand strong in challenging conditions. With 13% ABV and a standard 750 ml bottle, it delivers balanced elegance ready for your table. Priced at 35.99, it's an accessible entry into their evolving vision.

Whether pairing with seafood or chilling for a casual evening, the Thistle and Weed Khakibos White Blend invites you to explore a wine that's as intriguing as its name. From Stellenbosch foothills to your home, this other white varietal promises a story in every glass—one of cultivation, ingenuity, and quiet triumph. Add it to your cart and taste the Cape's next chapter.
