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
Textbook varietal character, showcasing opulent aromas of red and black fruits and white pepper. Underlying notes of cured meats further enhance the nose. The palate is laced with flavours of ripe plums, black cherries and fresh raspberries. The silky tannins are delicately balanced against a fine seam of acidity, creating a wine that’s lively and juicy, with good structure and a luxurious mouth feel. The plush fruit character of this wine should, with age and careful cellaring, evolve into beautiful tertiary notes of leather, allspice, dark fruits and smoked charcuterie.
