Saturday | Sunday Weekend Tasting: Unicorn Chardonnay
But first, there is good news! The R320 road which leads to Caledon through the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley has just been opened for traffic after the recent flooding so all the local Wine Estates are accessible again.
There is a “Stop ‘n Go” in place so please do be patient.
The fruit for the Unicorn Chardonnay, made by viticulturist Leon Engelke, was sourced in Bot River from a block which has since been pulled out, hence the name, as it was the final harvest. After going through natural fermentation in third-fill barrels he only managed to coax 1667 bottles from these low-yielding vines. Stop in over the weekend to try the Unicorn Chardonnay. Before it’s all gone. Forever…

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 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.
