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
Deep crimson. Classic-styling unwraps aromatics of cassis and cherries dusted in black pepper, cacao, dried vanilla pod. On entry sappy blackcurrants and plums riven with juicy cherry liqueur burst along a line of cleansing acid, cresting to a pure dark-fruited core. The fruit radiates savoury to the edges with a slight herbal lift. Judiciously framed by cedar spice, gravelly tannins unwind to a dry, chalky finish.
Food Pairing
Beef, lamb, pork, game (deer, venison), spicy food.
