Description
In a nutshell:
South Africa's zesty twist on a Portuguese classic - a vibrant, easy-drinking white that shimmers with freshness.
The lowdown:
Think peaches and citrus with a hint of something flinty. This South African white's got a bit of a backstory. It's made from a Portuguese grape, Fernão Pires, once used mostly for brandy. Now, thanks to some old vines way out in Worcester northeast of Cape Town, it makes a surprisingly fresh wine. Expect a burst of ripe peachiness and a crisp, dry finish. A fun discovery that's well worth a try.
The Producer:
Strange Kompanjie Unlimited (SKU) is a delightful sideshow brought to you by the folks at Wildeberg. This is where winemaker JD Rossouw rolls up his sleeves and has a bit of fun experimenting with lesser-known grapes and unusual blends. Think of it as a welcoming haven for the Cape's underdogs - the misfits and forgotten gems. It's a vibrant, anything-goes project with a playful spirit. If you're up for something a bit different and enjoy a dash of whimsy with your wine, Strange Kompanjie Unlimited is well worth seeking out.
When to drink:
This easy-drinking wine is a lovely match for fish cooked simply, a takeaway curry with a coconut kick, or a roast chicken dinner.
Suitable for Vegans
