Bubbly for your Valentine
Forget Valentine's Day on Monday 14 February at your peril! Luckily we have a few MCC's and Champagnes in stock so you should be able to stay out of trouble for this year...
In Stock: Neil Ellis "Op sy Moer"
This Neil Ellis white wine is a blend of Palomino (51%) and Chenin Blanc (49%) and "Op sy moer" translates as “sur lie” or “on the lees”, meaning instead of going their separate ways, the wine and the lees stay in touch for some light flirting. By keeping it on the lees, the wine is better preserved and during maturation a richness and texture develops with secondary aromas and flavours giving the wine more complexity.
WINEMAKER NOTES: Youthful straw colour. Complex nose of citrus zest, quince and and apple. Fresh, vibrant palate, with good texture and a long creamy finish. This is a wine that will keep evolving in the glass as with bottle aging.

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!
