Saturday | Sunday Weekend Tasting: Bloos
This weekend we will be tasting the "Bloos".
With all the up-country visitors coming to Hermanus, and of course, those from further afield, we will try to 'keep it local' for the next few weeks over the Festive Season and this weekend we have the lovely rosé made by Hermanuspietersfontein (strictly speaking, it should be called a Blanc de Noir). Unusual in that it is a 'Bordeaux-style' blend made from five of the Bordeaux varietals: Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc with an average yield of only 5 tons/hectare, it shows a beautiful shade of salmon pink. On the nose there are hints of strawberries and cream, with fresh red fruit leading to a soft mouthfeel, supple and round and fresh on the palate.
Stop in this weekend to try "Bloos" from Hermanuspietersfontein...

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!
