The Fledge \u0026amp; Co. is a collaboration between winemakers Leon Coetzee and Margaux Nel (who is also the winemaker at the famous Boplaas estate). Their philosophy is to be \"nomadic\" winemakers, sourcing fruit from unique and often overlooked vineyard parcels across the Cape to create artisanal, minimal-intervention wines that challenge the status quo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWine Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Fledge \u0026amp; Co.
