Weekend Tasting: Kaaimansgat Chardonnay
Bouchard Finlayson has been linked to the Crocodile’s Lair (or Kaaimansgat) vineyard near Villiersdorp for about twenty six years.
This weekend we will be tasting The Blacksmith’s “Vin Blanc” which is a 2017 white blend comprised of Chenin Blanc (62%), Viognier (27%), Semillon (11%) - naturally fermented and bottled unfiltered and unfined.
Why not stop in over the weekend to try this almost 6-year-old Vin Blanc from winemaker Tremayne Smith, aka The Blacksmith, to see how it has aged and developed in the bottle…
There should always be an empty parking space in the corner next to our shop, but if not please feel free to stop directly in front of our shop while you are with us - this will save you time driving around looking for a parking space.
- Monday to Saturday: 9am - 6pm.
- Sunday + Public holidays: 10am - 4pm.
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 does 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.
Please note that our website does not show the complete range of wine that we have in stock, so please do contact us if you are looking for something not listed online, especially those that are 'allocation' only.
We offer free delivery in and around Hermanus, and free shipping to major centres around South Africa for orders over R1600. Please contact us for international shipping rates.
