Weekend Tasting: Twee Jonge Gezellen

The Twee Jonge Gezellen farm in Tulbagh has been around since the early 1700’s and we will be tasting their White Blend this weekend. Here are their Tasting Notes: “Made from two old vine pockets of Chenin Blanc, situated on either side of the Kasteelberg in the Swartland (65 and 67 years old, respectively), accounting for 80 per cent of this blend, with Grenache Blanc from a dryland site in the Piketberg making up the remainder. The complexity and texture of old vine Swartland Chenin Blanc against the visceral freshness of Piketberg Grenache Blanc. Bouncy aromatics of greengage, thatch, white peach, lemon oil and appley freshness, then a fragrant bloom of honeysuckle and jasmine tea, all along a line of mineral intensity. The palate is focused and fine, with a pure core of nectarine and peach. The chalky texture is sculpted by a mouth-coating, pithy acidity; before a slight grip on the savoury finish.”

You can join us to taste the Twee Jonge Gezellen White Blend 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.
