Now in Stock: Constantia Royale
Don’s Reserve is a ‘Bordeaux-style’ white blend (58% Sauvignon Blanc; 42% Semillon) from the family-owned Constantia Royale Wine Estate. Winemaker Roger Burton’s Tasting Notes tell us that “The Sauvignon Blanc comes from a small portion of our only East facing block, grown in decomposed granite and clay soil, which produces a linear style of wine tasting primarily of black currant leaf, elderflower and grapefruit. The Semillon, grown on rich shale soils and left till late in the season to maximise the ripeness, adds a rich mouthfeel to the wine, and flavours of white peach. The wine was aged in selected first and second fill 500 liter French Oak barrels, to add some mid palate, while respecting the typical Constantia quality of freshness, purity, and minerality.” Only 1300 bottles.

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 independent specialist shops like Wine & Company on High Street, Hermanus.
In addition to the great selection of well-known local wines and MCC's, we also stock craft gin and beer, imported wines, 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.
