Now in Stock: David & Nadia!
A wonderful husband and wife duo make the David & Nadia wines - based in the Swartland, they have been making wine under their own label since 2010 and every year they produce amazing wines! Their whole range has just arrived on our shelves, and here are WineMag’s Christian Eedes’ Tasting Notes for the single-vineyard range:
Rondevlei Chenin Blanc 2022: Grapes from a 1984 vineyard on iron-rich gravel situated in one of the more arid parts of the Swartland. Citrus, hay, some nuttiness and waxy character on the nose. The palate is relatively broad and textured even though alcohol is just 12.5%. With dense fruit and a gently savoury finish, it’s an accomplished wine but that little bit flatter than the maiden 2021. CE’s rating: 94/100.
Hoë-Steen Chenin Blanc 2022: Grapes from a 1968 vineyard planted on deep iron-rich clay. A hint of reduction before citrus and a herbal note on the nose. The palate shows impressive fruit concentration and snappy acidity. Good focus and balance, layers of flavour, the finish long - a striking wine, the challenges of the vintage well met. Alcohol: 12.5%. CE’s rating: 95/100.
Skaliekop Chenin Blanc 2022: Grapes from a 1985 vineyard on shallow shale. Pear, peach, citrus and potpourri on the nose while the palate has dense fruit and moderate acidity before a pithy finish. Super-detailed, poised, the finish possessing great length. Alcohol: 12.5%. CE’s rating: 96/100.
Plat’bos Chenin Blanc 2022: Grapes from a 1981 vineyard on granite. Some flinty reduction precedes pear, peach and citrus on the nose while the palate is linear and direct - somewhat neutral in terms of flavour but it has great elegance and energy. Focused and propulsive, very much true to the Sadie philosophy. Alc: 12%. CE’s rating: 96/100.

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.
