Weekend Tasting: The Fledge Wines

The Fledge wines are made by Leon Coetzee and Margeaux Nel, out in Calitzdorp - Hand crafting old-school wines of integrity, unfaltering quality, defying perceptions of origin and being guided solely by the vine to showcase our passion - these are The Fledge & Co.’s reasons for being. Wines whispering of their origin; wines benefitting from careful cellaring; wines that are best decanted & accompanied in good cheer with fine fare - that’s our unwavering goal.

The KatVis combines three different clones of Pinot Noir (777 from sandstone over clay along the Palmiet River in Grabouw; 115 rooted in Bokkeveld shale soils of cool climate Elgin; 115 wedged into the shale soils of the continental climes of the Tradouw and old vine BK5 grown on calcareous rich red alluvials of the Karoo). All fruit was hand harvested, allowed a period of cold soaking, cool fermented cool in traditional lagars with gentle manual pigeage, matured 9 months in old 300ℓ French hogsheads, prior to blending and bottling unfined, unfiltered. Cellar if you can, but best decant this Pinot & enjoy accompanied by duck, beef fillet, braised lamb shoulder, hearty vegetarian fare, a pulled pork sandwiches or slightly chilled as an aperitif.

You can join us to taste the Katvis Pinot Noir this weekend!

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 independent specialist shops like Wine & Company on High Street, Hermanus.

In addition to the great selection of well-known local wines and MCC's, we also stock craft gin and beer, imported wines, 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.
