Ernst Gouws & Co Wines
Ernst Gouws & Co is a family-owned winery nestled in the heart of Stellenbosch, South Africa’s premier wine region. Established by Ernst Gouws, whose winemaking lineage dates back to 1691, the estate crafts modern-style wines that showcase the unique terroir of the Western Cape. Each bottle reflects a commitment to quality, tradition, and family values, with grapes hand-harvested from select vineyards. The portfolio includes varietals like Pinotage, Chenin Blanc, and Merlot, all embodying the essence of Stellenbosch’s rich viticultural heritage.
Description
Pale ruby colour with textbook Pinot noir aromas of macerated strawberries, undergrowth, dried herbs and forest floor. The palate is gentle with all the flavours following through, luscious berries with touches of moccachino, and a sprinkling of spice on the farewell. Velvety texture, but very light-footed, very laid back.
Food Pairing
Juicy, soft tannins and a clean, racy acidity make this the finest partner for rich terrines or pates as well as crispy, seared duck.
