In Stock: Daniel Colombo Wines...

Daniel Colombo is a winemaker and really nice guy, and he says that "he makes wines that he wants to drink himself, but when other people like to drink them too then that is actually quite lovely." Daniel uses a style called minimal intervention which means his wines don't have lots of different things in them, just grapes really. He enjoys drinking wines that are fresh and friendly, so those are the kind of wines he makes...

'Olifants' Muscat D' Alexandrie 2021: The South African west coast has a special spot in the heart of Daniel. It is a place that has shaped him, spending many thirsty weekends in the sun, looking for waves, sitting by the fire and disappearing. Picked from the banks of the Olifants river, this wine was made as a tribute to the west coast.  Strongly influenced  by the dry salty air, citrus orchards and fynbos. You'll find litchi, apricot and a touch of lime in your glass. 10 days of wholebunch maceration followed by 12 months in old french oak.

'I just called to say I love you' Grenache Gris 2021: Truly the the ugly duckling turned gorgeous swan of the vintage. A very slow ambient maceration and fermentation led to a considerable 15 months in old oak before bottling. The result is a delicate, but delicious wine showcasing caramelised sharon fruit,  tart citrus and thyme. Deep copper in colour and extremely moreish.

'And from her lips she drew the Hallelujah' Chardonnay 2021: ​It seemed fitting for Daniels first wine to be made from the first crop of a young vineyard. A Hemel en Aarde Chardonnay, just 3 years old in fact. Roughly two weeks of whole bunch maceration followed by 12 months in old French oak barrels has produced a wine that is elegant and light on it's feet.  A soft floral nose accompanies a saline palate that might remind you a bit of Hallelujah.

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.

Thank you for your support - stay safe - see you soon!
