In Stock: A.A. Badenhorst Family Wines
The wines from Swartland's Adi Badenhorst are well-known, especially the 'Secateurs' range which can be found on many shelves around the world. The recently released 2021 'Family Wines' range are made in much smaller quantities and are in limited supply - see Christian Eedes' tasting notes below...
A.A. Badenhorst Family Wines Kelder Steen 2021
Yellow peach, earth and spice plus some reduction. The palate has good fruit density and bright acidity. With layers of flavour, this is the most generous of the three examples of Chenin from this vintage. CE’s rating: 92/100.
A.A. Badenhorst Family Wines Sout van die Aarde Palomino 2021
From a coastal vineyard that also supplies Sadie’s Skerpioen. The nose is shy with fine-drawn notes of pear, white peach and herbs. The palate is arresting being lean and very fresh, the finish long and saline. Striking purity and drive. CE’s rating: 93/100.
A.A. Badenhorst Family Wines Ramnasgras Cinsault 2021
From a 1954 vineyard on granite. Pronounced notes of fresh herbs and fynbos to go with wild strawberry and white pepper on the nose while the palate is light and juicy with fine tannins. Lots going and great energy. CE’s rating: 94/100.
A.A. Badenhorst Family Wines Sk’windjiesvlei Tinta Barocca 2021
From a 1962 vineyard. A hint of reduction before red and black berries, lavender, earth and spice. The palate has lovely fruit expression to go with impressive structure – compact, fresh and grippy in the best sense. Wonderfully well realised. CE’s rating: 95/100.

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!
