In Stock: Packwood from Plett
After visiting Packwood a few months ago, we decided to order their Pinot Noir and Blanc de Noir. Packwood is a small down-to-earth garagiste winery on a beautiful large country estate - a unique destination off the beaten track in Harkerville, in the middle of the Garden Route between Plettenberg Bay & Knysna surrounded by pristine indigenous forests & nature in abundance.
Winemaker Sollie Sauerman's Tasting Notes:
Packwood Pinot Noir: This cool climate cultivar known as the Prince of grapes, only the best grapes are hand selected at the beginning of Autumn. Matured in French oak for 9 months, very fruity on the nose with lots of cherries and fresh red fruit on the palate, a very honest and earthy wine with a kiss of spice. Only 4000 bottles of this handcrafted wine is produced. 4000 bottles produced. Platter 4*.
Packwood Blanc de Noir: A classic dry French-style “Blanc de noir” made from the noble grape Pinot Noir. Harvested at the beginning of Autumn, whole bunch pressed, fermented and matured in French oak for 8 months. Aromas of stone fruit and quince make this versatile grape an ideal wine to pair with all culinary delights. 2500 bottles produced. Platter 'Hidden Gem'.

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!
