In Stock: Pilgrim Viura...
Pilgrim Wines Viura 2021: Winemaker Henry Kotze tells us about his small-batch Viura (or Macabeo): "This white varietal that has its origin in Spain, is a versatile but mysterious grape to make wine from. Made from only 200 vines growing in the Breedekloof Valley.
The colour of this wine is an alluring golden hue with a green tinge. On the nose there is first hint of reductiveness – but in a really good way (not struck match and H2S), think more wet river rocks and flint. It starts out ever so slightly dusty and then opens up with aromas of chamomile, elder flower and jasmine flower perfume. It really is very engaging with very fine citrus blossom sweetness, some vanilla and freshly ground cinnamon sticks. It leaves a lovely weight that lingers ever so lightly.
On the palate the weight is amazing! Given the little extra skin contact, the subtle tannins that are present, create an environment that makes all those elegant flavors really “blossom”. Full, flavoursome, rounded sweetness, this wine is the epitome of balance. As to the finish, one can only describe it as ethereal. The ease with which the wine seems to disappear but continues to play is very elegant. It leaves a lovely weight that lingers, almost like the sensation and experience of eating candy floss! It’s very cerebral in quality, and lovely to enjoy."

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!
