Now in Stock: Pakhuisdam Chenin Blanc!

We love it when farmers and/or winemakers bring us their new wines so we were very happy when a few weeks ago André du Toit came in with the second release of his Pakhuisdam Chenin Blanc. Here are Christian Eedes’ tasting notes for it:

André du Toit is a fourth-generation wine grape farmer, who lives on a property called Pakhuisdam in the Voor-Paardeberg, although grapes for his Chenin Blanc 2021 come from a vineyard some 40 years old in the Bovlei area of Wellington, neighbours being Welgegund and Mont Du Toit.

Tremayne Smith of The Blacksmith Wines handled winemaking, grapes 100% whole bunch pressed and spontaneously fermented before being matured for 10 months in old French barrels.

The nose shows cut-apple, yellow peach, spice and a little rancio character while the palate has good depth of fruit, tangy acidity and a particularly savoury finish. It’s a wine that succeeds on account of how full of interest it is rather than its precision - lots of flavour plus weight and texture but not too much so. Christian Eedes’ rating: 92/100.

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.
