What's happening at Wine and Co. 28 February 2020
The guys at Black Elephant Vintners say "It’s our mission to bring truth to the wine industry and create experiences that turn convention on its head" and that is exactly what they are doing with their 'wine in a can'. The 250ml cans are recyclable and the wine inside is Vegan-friendly. In fact, the wine is the same as their award-winning 'Two Dogs, a Horse and a Peacock' Sauvignon Blanc.
Come and taste the 'wine in a can' this Friday 28 February (3pm - 6pm).
Trizanne sources the fruit for her Barbera from the Darling area. The juice fermented naturally for 2 weeks then matured in 500L old French oak barrels for 11 months on the fine lees - there was no fining and only light filtration before bottling. The palate is full of bright red fruits and crunchy acid (so typical of Barbera). It's a lovely medium-bodied (12.5% alc) wine that refreshes the palate with a grip of fruit tannin on the finish.
Please contact us for the Trizanne Barbera.
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, La Trappe Trappist 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 or you are not satisfied with the quality, 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.
