Producer Information

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.

Strange Kompanjie Unlimited wines are certified as part of South Africa’s sustainability accreditation, the ‘Integrated Production of Wine’ (IPW) system. The IPW scheme, started in 1998, consists of a set of audited guidelines specifying agricultural practices, manufacturing practices and bottling activities.

Wine Making

30 year old, dry grown bush vine Cinsault from sustainably farmed blocks, brought to Wildeberg where roughly 30% of the fruit undergoes carbonic maceration due to some whole bunch material in the press. The juice is then allowed to ferment spontaneously in older French oak. A naturally produced wine with no fining or filtration and low sulphur levels.

Tasting Note

Bright cranberry and raspberry aromas lead to a vibrant palate of red berries, tangy acidity, gentle spice, and bush vine depth.
