Source-supplied bottle description
Retained as supporting identification copy; the structured facts and evidence links above are kept separate.
Strange Kompanjie The Tea Leaf is a naturally fermented, old bush vine white wine that captures the wild, sun-soaked spirit of South Africa's Western Cape. Sourced from vineyards where Chenin Blanc , Grenache Gris, and Marsanne vines grow intertwined with indigenous rooibos plants, this is a wine of genuine character, combining vibrant fruit, delicate spice, and a bright mineral freshness that is entirely its own.
Meet the Producer
Strange Kompanjie Unlimited is a playful, innovative collective of winemakers exploring the quirks of the Cape's lesser-known grape varieties. Embracing natural fermentation and minimal intervention, they let the vineyard speak, producing wines of real personality and a strong sense of place in the Western Cape . Vineyard and Production Grapes are harvested in the cool early hours of the morning and hand-selected at the winery before undergoing natural fermentation. The wine is aged in older 600-litre French oak barrels to add gentle texture without overpowering the fruit, then coarse-filtered above 1 micron and bottled without fining to preserve purity and character. The presence of indigenous rooibos plants growing among the vines contributes a subtle aromatic complexity unique to this terroir.
Tasting Notes
Aromas of ripe citrus and peach mingle with savoury, gently nutty notes. The palate is firm yet silky, with a sandy texture reflective of the vineyard soils, leading to a long, lightly honeyed finish of real distinction.

Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
