In Stock: Lourens Family Wines
He is such a nice guy, always smiling! Franco Lourens has just released his new vintages and here are his notes...
The fruit for the Cape Moby wines is sourced from vines at least 15 years old in the Walker Bay area, as well as from Franschhoek and Stellenbosch.
Cape Moby White: aromatic with fresh apple, pear and tropical fruit notes on the nose. On the palate the wine spreads well with soft acidity and lovely freshness on the finish (70% Semillon, 30% Sauvignon Blanc).
Cape Moby Red: smooth, full bodied wine with soft black fruit and spicy notes, well integrated tannins and elegant finish (Shiraz 38%, Cabernet Sauvignon 18%, Grenache 18%, Merlot 14%, Pinotage 11%, Cinsaut 1%).
Come and taste Cape Moby wines this Friday 15 November (3pm - 6pm).
We now have the outstanding DAMASCENE wines in stock! “I believe every facet in the vineyard, no matter how small, has a role to play in the fruit we harvest and the wines we produce,” says winemaker Jean Smit. “The wines of DAMASCENE are about capturing these tiny nuances, these subtle shades of character that exist in the unique parcels of vineyard, and translating that into the bottle.”
Sourcing fruit from 20 sites, he says “DAMASCENE is about seeking out memorable vineyards and sites that truly showcase the incredible diversity of terroir we have here in the Western Cape. I spend countless days on the road, covering thousands of kilometres, visiting vineyards and farmers in search of special parcels of land.”
Please contact us for the DAMASCENE wines.
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, La Trappe Trappist 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 or you are not satisfied with the quality, 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.
Wine & Company is a speciality shop in Hermanus dealing in limited-edition wines, craft beer, artisanal gin and imported whisky. Over the years this long-established owner-run business has grown a favourable reputation with local and international wine connoisseurs. For your added convenience, Wine ...
