Wine and Co - Glen Carlou & the Ou Wingerdreeks...

Every year the industry waits patiently for the new vintages and one of the most anticipated releases is that of Eben Sadie and his "Ou Wingerdreeks". Things do move a bit slower in Hermanus but all good things come to those who wait, and the good stuff does eventually get to us! As usual, allocations are tight so those with the fastest fingers will score.... (TIP: the Skurfberg, Kokerboom and T'Voetpad are all gone already). Here are Eben's notes on this vintage.

THE OUWINGERDREEKS...

Friday | Saturday | Sunday Weekend tasting: Join us this weekend when we taste the Blanc de Blancs MCC and Quartz Stone Chardonnay from Glen Carlou!

GLEN CARLOU QUARTZ STONE CHARDONNAY...

New in stock: The Glen Carlou Quartz Stone Chardonnay has “a complex nose of citrus, white peach, spice and buttered toast aromatics are evident on the nose of this 100% Single Vineyard Chardonnay. The mid-palate evolves with tantalising lime and butterscotch notes framed by a fresh citrus character. These follow through to an extended and complex aftertaste of apricot marmalade and a delicate yet creamy almond finish. Throughout the mouthfeel, the Quartz soil’s mineral identity is revealed”. Johnnie Calitz (winemaker).

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 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, 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.
