Ernie Els
As one of South Africa's leading ambassadors and one of the most recognizable faces in the world of sport it is befitting that Ernie chose Stellenbosch to produce his wines. In 1999 the concept of Ernie Els Wines was born and with the help of award-winning winemaker Louis Strydom they produced the maiden 2000 vintage of Ernie Els - a 'classic' Bordeaux blend. The intention from the outset was to focus on delivering a quality product that could hold its own in the company of the world's finest wines.
Description
Rubied with a plum core. Brooding peppery fruit on the nose peels off to cassis and blackcurrant, held aloft with savoury, meaty tones, sketching in fireside and scents of the veldt. Seductive flavours of pomegranate, morello cherry, dates and plums proliferate on the palate, bouncing off cedar wood, amber oil. Bold, and fruit-forward with smooth, juicy tannins towards a well-resolved fruit-scented finish.
Food Pairing
Port wine braised beef short ribs. Cabernet-braised venison cheeks.
