Weekend Tasting: 'Free to Be’ Syrah

The ‘Free to Be’ Syrah from Remhoogte is a whole bunch, carbonic style Syrah - fermented as whole bunches in concrete tank and matured in the same tank for 12 months. They say this creates a deliciously fresh and elegant wine with a wonderfully perfumy aroma of black currents, cloves and violet. The palate has vibrant fruit with a beautifully coated acidity and supple tannins which give it length.

You can join us to taste the ‘Free to Be’ Carbonic Syrah 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.
