Fernão Pires (Maria Gomes) is a white wine grape variety that primarily grows in the Bairrada region of Portugal. This wine is known for its pale yellow color and delicate aroma of citrus fruits, such as lemon and lime, with floral notes of jasmine and orange blossom. On the palate, it's crisp and refreshing, with a subtle mineral finish and pleasant acidity. It pairs well with seafood dishes, salads, and white meats, or can also be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif.
Fernão Pires, also known as Maria Gomes, is one of Portugal's most widely planted white grape varieties. Named after a local Portuguese farmer who is said to have been the first to cultivate it, Fernão Pires has been a staple in Portuguese viticulture for centuries. Its floral and aromatic wines have been enjoyed since medieval times and are often associated with the traditional celebrations and festivals in the Bairrada and Tejo regions.
Pair wines made with Fernão Pires with spicy dishes like Indian butter chicken or Thai pineapple fried rice, as the wine's fruity and floral notes complement the exotic flavors and add a refreshing contrast to the heat.
