What’s this then? SKU is a casual band of happy ferments. A circus tent of the Cape’s stranger grapes and blends.
We will champion the unfashionable, experiment with the known and express the found before it gets lost. Mistakes are likely, fun certain.
Welcome to Strange Kompanjie, a Kultivar Club for the Underdog.
Vinification
The early picked grapes from the Voor-Pardeberg were gently pressed and the juice allowed to settle before decanting. A natural, spontaneous fermenation occurred with no additions. Just before completion of fermenation, the wine was bottled with a small amount of residual sugar remaining. Fermentation continued in bottle followed by 2 months ageing on lees and disgorgement. Due to the short settling period the finest less stayed suspended giving a light cloudiness, the extent will vary from bottle to bottle. No fining or filtration, 1.4g/ltr of sugar. 1,600 bottles produced.
Tasting Notes
In the pioneering spirit of Strange Kompanjie, a delicate and vibrant bottle-fermented Grenache Rosé. Sustainably produced, natural fermentation, unfined.
A pale coral pink colour from just a few hours in the press. Fresh, vibrant red berry and citrus fruit aromas with lightly yeasty notes. Bright and refreshing with tangy cherry and plum fruit balanced by crisp acidity.
Great accompaniment to cold platters, salads, smoked fish.
