Saturday | Sunday Weekend Tasting: Skoonma Shiraz

According to the Skapie at Hermanuspietersfontein, the Skoonma is ”A Shiraz showing sweet spice and black olive. Elegant structure and persistent finish. Unabashedly alive, perfectly pronouncing ‘Shiraz’ in Wine of Origin Sondagskloof vernacular.” Adding to that structure are dashes of Mourvedre, Grenache and Viognier. Shiraz & Viognier were fermented together with the last part of fermentation completed in foudre while the Mourvedre and Grenache were integrated into blend after fermentation before a further 24 months maturation in French oak foudre.

Stop in over the weekend to try the Skoonma Shiraz!

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.
