Fernão Pires is a white Portuguese wine grape grown throughout Portugal, especially in the Tejo and Bairrada, where it is also known as "Maria Gomes".

This variety is known to produce wines with a spicy aromatic character,[1] though often with delicate exotic fruity notes.

Generally not expected to be a long-living wine, this wine is best drunk in its infancy or matured for up to 2 or 3 years.

Outside of Portugal there are some significant plantings in South Africa.

[2] Fernão Pires is also known under the synonyms Camarate, Fernam Pires, Fernan Piriz, Fernão Pirão, Fernao Pires, Fernão Pires do Beco, Gaeiro, Gaieiro, Maria Gomes, and Molinha.
