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
Description
This results in a Sauvignon Blanc that drinks beautifully while young yet is able to mature and even with age, leave a lasting impression like West Coast memories. The Bright acidity and ripe fruit flavours also complement the crunchy summer salads and cheese vegetable dishes.
Food Pairing
The food and wine culture is marked by simple preparation of quality ingredients, with generosity in spades. Fresh fish or shellfish on the braai sings in the company of the West Coast Sauvignon Blanc by Neil Ellis. The Bright acidity and ripe fruit flavours also complement the crunchy summer salads and cheese vegetable dishes.
