Fresh almond skin, fennel, and a delicate hint of jasmine lead the way on the nose. It’s a light, fresh, minerally style with just a touch of oily weight and waxy texture that speaks of its dry-grown vineyard origins. A whisper of nuttiness lingers on the finish, making it a wine to savour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTry this with with simply cooked fish, pan-seared scallops, or crispy fishcakes. Asparagus and lemon risotto brings out the wine’s freshness or an aged Manchego or a nutty Comté enhances its saline, savoury edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eKate Says\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e“This is one of those wines that surprises you – in a good way. You might not expect much from a grape more commonly found in sherry, but this is fresh, textured, and delightfully different. It’s like a seaside breeze in a glass, with a salty kick that keeps you coming back for more. If you love a crisp white but fancy something a bit off the beaten track, this is well worth a go.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eProducer Info\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eStrange Kompanjie Unlimited (or SKU, if you like a good abbreviation) is all about celebrating the Cape’s quirkier grapes – the ones that don’t usually get their time in the spotlight. This ‘Kultivar Club for the Underdog’ takes a playful approach to winemaking, experimenting with forgotten varieties and championing the unfashionable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis old-vine Palomino comes from a tiny parcel of vines planted back in 1977, high up on the Piekenierskloof plateau. The vines are gnarled, stumpy, and look like they’ve been through a battle, but their struggle is what makes the wine so special. Their deep roots tap into the dry, rocky soil, producing small but intensely flavoured grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSustainability is at the heart of Strange Kompanjie’s approach. They’re part of South Africa’s Integrated Production of Wine (IPW) system, ensuring eco-friendly practices from vineyard to bottle. It’s all about making wine that respects the land and lets the character of the grape shine through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003csection data-liuqs-content=\"verified-context\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"site-brand-context\"\u003eListed by \u003cstrong\u003eFlowers by Richard NYC | Same Day Flower Delivery NYC\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"site-context-note\"\u003eFree Shipping on All Orders · New Store Launch Deals End in 30 Days!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"verified-product-facts\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVendor:\u003c\/strong\u003e My Store\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTags:\u003c\/strong\u003e Skincare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42989354319957,"sku":"cs_8687","price":0.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/9630\/0117\/files\/hdwopn7fejxt_4b5e45cc-5bd4-410c-b6ff-d2e8ee89a0ab.jpg?v=1789301606","url":"https:\/\/willowcreekspirits.com\/products\/strangekompanjieoldvinepalomino2023-pyvwiq","provider":"Willow Creekspirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
