Neil Ellis
In 1984 Neil Ellis sourced grapes from vineyards not of his own and produced wine in rented cellar space. These grapes were sourced in the Stellenbosch district and meant a lot of nosing around the restrictive quota system prevalent at the time. His vision the pursuit of quality extended out of the cellar and into the vineyards where varieties would excel and best express a particular style of wine reflective of their environment. Today the experience and knowledge of the past are applied to modern techniques and technologies for a new generation of winemaking. “Our vision remains to make distinctive refined wines that are expressive of their terrain and rank amongst South Africa’s finest. A pursuit of quality nothing less.” Neil Ellis

Pale straw like colour with attractive green hues. Bright tropical citrus aromatics, with subtle undertones of fresh cut grass. The palate is elegant with delicately detailed citrus fruits and a lively acidity, refined minerality, poised palate, textured and a long flavoursome finish.
Food Pairing
Fresh seafood and summer salads.
