Now in Stock: Reisiger Colombar
Gunter Schultz makes the Baleia wines and also finds time to have a few projects too. The Reisiger Colombar is one of those - made from 29-year-old Colombar bush vines grown in the Breedekloof - and we now have it on our shelf. Here are a few words from Greg Sherwood (MW), “Like all the very best examples coming on to the market in South Africa, the Reisiger is impressively cool, clean and precise with a crystalline demeanour and mouth-watering aromatics of lime peel, fresh guava, wet hay, dried herbs, and freshly cut apple with underlying notes of crushed gravel and wet slate adding fabulous nuances of minerality. The palate is mouthwatering and steely, pure, crisp and bright with a tart tangy lemony acidity, notions of crunchy white peach, pithy lemon peel, lime cordial and a salty, stony liquid minerality on the finish. What elevates this wine in stature is not only its crystalline purity and laser-like focus, but also the electric underlying acid tension and structure on the palate, not dissimilar to a premium flinty Pouilly Fumé from the Loire or a vibrant old vine Assyrtiko from Greece. A beautifully conceived wine that is deftly handled, fabulously pure and fresh, but never frivolous. A perfect summertime indulgence.” (Wine Safari Score: 93+/100 Greg Sherwood MW)

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.
