Fernao Pires (fer-nao-pi-res) - white wine grapes grown throughout Portugal, now happily growing on the Bassham Heritage Vineyard in Barmera, Riverland, South Australia. Fernao Pires is held in high regard for its spicy aromatic complexity, often with exotic fruity notes, zest of lemon, orange and hints of spice; as the wine ages, aromas of honey with flavours of peach, lime, orange, honeysuckle and clove. Fernao Pires begs for fresh foods, salads, cucumber, Thai and Vietnamese foods, pork, chicken and seafood.
