Expressive, layered, and refreshingly vibrant.
Thistle & Weed Khakibos White Blend is an artisan South African white wine crafted as a voluptuous Cape blend led by Verdelho with supporting varietals like Chenin Blanc, Alvarinho, Palomino, and Fernão Pires — a combination that changes each vintage depending on the best sites and grapes available.
Named after Khakibos (Tagetes minuta), a local Cape weed historically linked to old Boer stories, this blend celebrates Cape terroir with a medley of expressive aromatics and balanced structure.
