A skin contact wine oozing with finesse from Franschhoek
Considering the skin contact fermentation it takes a great deal of skill to produce a wine with such clarity and brightness. Beautifully pale pink in colour, the palate is initially one of fresh strawberries before a very smart, pithy finish.
Strange Kompanjie Unlimited is a casual band of happy ferments. A circus tent of the Cape's stranger grapes and blends. They champion the unfashionable, experiment with the known and express the found before it gets lost. Strange Kompanjie is a cultivar club for the underdog.
Harvested from Grenache Gris
Skin fermented (naturally) until dry. The wine was then pressed and matured in 400 litre ceramic eggs for 7 months.
It pairs beautifully with a sunny evening in the garden but if you want food to go with it, pork with a fennel crust would be a delight.
