Master Sommelier Madeline Triffon says of Pinot Noir: "The most romantic of wines, with so voluptuous a perfume, so sweet an edge, and so powerful a punch that, like falling in love, they make the blood run hot and the soul wax embarrassingly poetic."
Friday | Saturday | Sunday Weekend tasting: Boutique wine farm Domaine des Dieux has tastings of their Josephine Pinot Noir available all week at Wine & Co. at 7 High Street, Hermanus. Aged in small French Oak wine barrels the Josephine Pinot Noir has subtle cinnamon and earthy tones, with a touch of smoke - join us this week when we taste the Josephine Pinot Noir from Domaine des Dieux!
Rall Wines was established in 2008 and is owned and run by independent winemaker Donovan Rall. Donovan started out by focussing on just two wines – a white and a red. With fruit sourced from various vineyard sites, these remain the Rall Wines flagships. The winemaking philosophy is kept simple and production remains small. Fortunately we have just recieved a few bottles of the 2019 Rall Red - a Syrah-dominated blend with Syrah 65%; Grenache 13%; Cinsault 13% and Carignan 9%.
Just a reminder that we have an ON/OFF Consumption Liquor License that allows us to be open for tastings over weekends during the newly-imposed Level 3 COVID-19 restrictions.
This means that we are open every day of the week, and will still be able to have our weekend tastings. Please note that you ARE able to purchase for local (Hermanus) delivery which will take place after closing. Any other deliveries (national or international) will be arranged for next week.
We are open 10am - 6pm Monday to Thursday, and 10am - 4pm on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays.

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.
Wine & Company is a speciality shop in Hermanus dealing in limited-edition wines, craft beer, artisanal gin and imported whisky.
