What's happening at Wine and Co. 13 March 2020

Doran Vineyards is owned by Irish-born, London based Edwin Doran. His Partner/CEO is André Badenhorst, the South African wine icon. It is the home of elegant, artisan, hand-nurtured wines created by dedicated, passionate people. Winemaker Martin Lamprecht says: "We create wines with character and personality, wines which respect the fruit and have an inherent elegance to them."

Come and taste the new Doran Chenin Blanc this Friday 13 March (3pm - 6pm).

Coming from Beyerskloof, it's obviously 100% Pinotage, and harvested from 19-year-old bush vines, maturation in 80% new and 10% second/third-fill barrels for 17 months. Winemaker Anri Truter’s Tasting Notes: blackberry aromas upfront with blackberry and plum flavours upon entry leading to a long, juicy aftertaste. Enjoy upon release, but will develop well for up to 10 years. Only 3000 bottles produced.  

Please contact us for the Beyerskloof Winemaker's Reserve Pinotage.

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, 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.
