Saturday | Sunday Weekend Tasting: Vigne d'Or Red Blend
This weekend we will be tasting the Vigne d'Or Red Blend which was made by Adam Mason of Terre Paisible in Franschhoek. They tell us that it has a “Dark, brooding appearance. Opulent aromas of dried cherries, tobacco, cocoa bean and cured leather. A rich, ripely styled wine. The palate is packed with fine grained tannins providing generous mouthfeel and a long lasting, flavourful finish. A blend of: Cabernet Sauvignon 51%, Shiraz 26%, Merlot 18%, Petit Verdot 3%, Cabernet Franc 2%. Each of the traditional Bordeaux varietals in this complex wine underwent fermentation in large oak fermenters. After malolactic fermentation the separate components were further matured in Taransaud barrels for an additional 8 months before being blended. The Shiraz - vinified separately in new French oak for 10 months gives intensity and structure to the blend, adding dimension and intrigue.”
Why not stop in over the weekend to try the Vigne d’Or Red Blend!

About Us
Have you ever heard about a great wine but could never find a bottle for yourself (to share with friends, of course)? Well, the team at Wine & Company do all the hard work for you! We visit wine farms and attend tastings to find, taste, and then stock wine from the smaller Estates and independent winemakers who buy grapes and produce outstanding wine under their own labels – much the same as the French negociants have been doing for centuries. Given that these winemakers make wine in such small quantities, sometimes just a single barrel, their wine will never be found on the shelves of the major retailers, but only in specialist shops like Wine & Company on High Street, Hermanus.
In addition to the great selection of well-known wines and MCC's, we also stock local craft gin and beer, French Champagne, Belgian Ales as well as whisky and other spirits. Wine & Company (established in 1998 by Bartho Eksteen) has a well-earned reputation for stocking hard-to-find small-batch wines and we strive to continue this great tradition. If you purchase a bottle of wine from us and it is faulty we will gladly replace the bottle and return the faulty wine to the winemaker.
Feel free to contact Wine & Company if you need a particular wine and we will do our best to source it for you. We are also able to ship wine locally and to most countries so do ask about international shipping.
