Product Notes

A captivating fusion of Grenache, Syrah and Petit Verdot, Ernie Els Proprietor’s Blend wine is a South African marvel. Hand-harvested, the grapes convey a profile that's both complex and elegantly poised. The palate offers black fruits, chocolate, and spice melded masterfully with a balanced oak character. Its richness is complimented by velvet-like tannins, resulting in a well-rounded, sophisticated after-taste. Vibrant yet supremely graceful, this finely crafted blend showcases exceptional know-how, underscoring Ernie Els' burgeoning reputation for winemaking prowess. A wine of remarkable depth, this is truly a delight for connoisseurs.

Tasting Notes

Baking spices, dark chocolate and black, vibrant fruits hint at the power to follow. Complex aromas of pure cassis, meat and oak spice lead to a well-integrated fruit centre with dense, but finely-tuned tannins. This is a wonderful blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Shiraz and 5% each of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot where the components are expressive but well-balanced and the whole is so much more than the parts. Powerful, explosive and medium- to full-bodied with the precision of 2017 shining through to a long-defined finish.
