Sauvignon Blanc
MED-BODIED, GREEN MELON, PASSION FRUIT, LIME, GRASS, LEES CONTACT, FRENCH OAK
Founded by a group of local Cape Town sommeliers, KFW works with winemakers across the Cape to provide underserved members of the community with access to good, quality wine. 100% Sauv Blanc, ‘Blanc Fumé’ undergoes both oak ageing and 11 months of lees contact, thereby adding just enough weight to balance the vibrant, tangy aromas dominating the palate. Sancerre this is not, but if you’re looking for something that’s multi-layered, delicious, and a little bit outside the box — give Blanc Fumé a shot!

Pinot Gris
MED-BODIED, CITRUS, WILD STRAWBERRY, PEACH FUZZ, ROSE PETAL, USED OAK
Forget that Stellenbosch isn’t exactly known for Pinot Gris: this minimal-intervention, skin-contact wine from Craven Wines allows the beautiful (and oft underappreciated) coppery/dark rose hues of the grape’s skins to shine as they should -- allowing clean red fruit, lively citrus, and pretty floral notes met with delicate, balanced tannins.
WINEMAKING : Fermentation occurs naturally on the skins; no additions other than a small amount of SO2; unfined and unfiltered.
