Tasting Notes

Colour: Black plum, going purple to the rim.
Nose: Scents of flint and fire, cassis leaf, cherries, and bramblewood cocooned in luxurious cedar styling accented with creamy vanilla pod.
Palate: Lemony-fresh tannins carve around a core of succulent red and black cherries, plums, redcurrants. Going sappy and chewy to the edges, the dimension of the evolving tannic structure creates depth as well as tension. The acidity is cool, mineral and threads through lifting and sculpting, an energetic dance of fruit brightness to its velvet backbone.
Grape Varieties: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon

History of Ernie Els

Ernie Els is a winery located in the Stellenbosch region of the Western Cape, South Africa. It was founded by the world-class golfer Ernie Els in 2000, and is known for its robust, Bordeaux-styled red wines made from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, particularly the Ernie Els Signature, a blend of the two.

The estate is located on the slopes of the Heiderberg Mountain, where north-facing vineyards benefit from optimum amounts of sunlight and cooling breezes from the Atlantic Ocean. This, combined with soils of clay and granite, is an excellent environment for red grape varieties, and the Ernie Els property is planted mostly to Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Shiraz.
