He is such a nice guy, always smiling! Franco Lourens has just released his new vintages and here are his notes...
Eenzaamheid is a 7th generation family farm situated in Agter-Paarl between the Paarl Mountain and the Paardeberg mountain range and was founded in 1693. Cape Wine Master and resident winemaker, Janno Briers-Louw, will be joining us this week to taste through his range of incredibly good value wines.
Come and taste the Eenzaamheid wines this Friday 10 January (3pm - 6pm).
'84% Syrah, 7% Carignan, 9% Grenache. Syrah 8 to 10 weeks on skins, 2017 Grenache blended in. One barrel of Swartland Carignan 2016. Beautiful dark, alluring wine with sweet black peppercorns, savoury cured meats, blackberry spice, black olive and black plum style that eventually meanders back to brightness and purity with the use of the 2017 Grenache addition. Another crystalline style, total focus and purity, with component parts beautifully pieced together. So cool, pure and fresh, with great precision that is a manifestation of Carstens own personality. Lovely wine.' – Greg Sherwood, Wine Safari, 93+/100

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 ...
