Now in Stock: Nomad Wines
Just because a winemaker moves overseas it does not mean he no longer makes wine in South Africa! Thanks to Kosie van der Merwe, ex-Elgin Ridge and now living in Germany, we have a new release of Franc (Cab Franc, 1750 bottles) and Sarel (Syrah, 1600 bottles). We have had the previous Franc on the shelf and loved it, and these are again made in a fresh, lighter style. Here are WineMag's Christian Eedes Tasting Notes:
Franc Cabernet Franc 2021: 40% whole-bunch fermentation. Lifted and rather pretty aromatics of red cherry, some leafiness and fresh herbs while the palate is light and fresh with fine tannins. Alcohol is 12.5% and I like the general austerity of this wine although some might find it insubstantial. CE’s rating: 90/100.
Sarel Syrah 2021: 50% whole-bunch fermentation. Matured for 10 months in large old oak. Red berries, rose and white pepper on the nose while the palate is light-bodied but flavourful with fresh acidity and fine tannins. Pure and zippy with dry, slightly salty finish. CE’s rating: 93/100.

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.
Thank you for your support - stay safe - see you soon!
