WINE DESCRIPTION

Ernie Els Proprietor's Blend is a premium red wine produced by the renowned South African golfer Ernie Els. The wine is made from a blend of different grape varieties sourced from various vineyards in the Stellenbosch appellation. The vineyards are situated on the slopes of the Helderberg Mountain, which provides ideal growing conditions for the grapes. The wine is crafted using traditional winemaking techniques, including hand sorting and barrel aging, to create a rich and complex flavor profile. The style of the wine is full-bodied and elegant, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and oak.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Ernie Els Proprietor's Blend is an exquisite blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, with subtle hints of Shiraz, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc from Stellenbosch in South Africa.The nose is filled with aromas of ripe plum, blackberry, and a hint of tobacco. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured, with silky tannins, bright acidity, and a long, lingering finish. The flavors of dark fruits and earthy spices are perfectly balanced with the oak and spice notes from the oak aging.
