SKU, Strange Bru, Fernao Pires

Western Cape | South Africa

Green citrus and lemongrass aromas lead to a crisp palate, underpinned by minerality and vibrant fruit, finishing clean and taut.

About the Producer

Of the last blocks of Fernao left in the Cape this is the oldest at 37 years old. In Portugal the variety is also known as Maria Gomes and was introduced in South Africa primarily for brandy production but fell out of favour. Which is where we all come in. Before we lose ‘em let’s use ‘em. Rock-star winemakers are sniffing around this block now which is good for its future but here is an accessibly-priced expression of the loveliness of the Found before it gets lost.

Food Pairing

Coconut infused curry, fish with a mango salad, pan roasted chicken.
