‘Nastergal’ is a weed producing very ripe, dark purple berries  - this unique blend of Iberican varietals was chosen to depict this colour.

Made by husband and wife team; Stephanie Wild (winemaker) &  Etienne Terblanche (viticulturist) who created Thistle & Weed in 2015. It hasn't taken long for them to be considered one of the finest wine labels in South Africa.

They are especially well regarded for single-site Chenin Blancs and their avant-garde regional blends that comprise a feast of Iberian varieties. The beautiful labels depict weeds found amongst the vines in the Cape; Etienne and Stephanie draw parallels between thistles and weeds and the uncompromising tenacity and survival skills of grapevines, hence their name and the colloquial Afrikaans terms given to their various wines.
