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
A crowd-pleaser with the warmth of cloves and sweet anise. It has a bold ruby colour, and complimentary aromas of wild bramble, ripe plums, exotic spices, baked Christmas cake and dried pears. The exotic spice profile is reminiscent of a trip to a North African open-air market. The robust, yet ripe tannins, bolster the structure without the addition of any rough edges. True to its varietal character, the wine ends with lingering flavours of sweetish red berry fruit compote.
Food Pairing
Pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, smoky barbecue, or aged cheddar.
