Tasting Notes

Colour:Dark crimson.
Nose: Struck-flint, lustrous dark cherries and blackcurrant cassis play the opening keys. Wafts of savoury spice, a touch of toasty oak, and a flash of thyme in the background.
Palate: Focused and elegant, the palate peels off layers of fruit, red and black cherries, plums, following a spine of muscular tannins, smoothing to silk at the edges, unwinding into a black gravel minerality on the finish.
Grape Varieties: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec, 5% Petit Verdot

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.
