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
Dry Provence-style rosé made from Cinsaut. Bright, with a salmon-hue colour and low in alcohol, but substantial in taste and texture. The mesmerising soft peachy-pink tint grabs the interest upon first glance, and then a bright brush of juicy cherry fruit fills out the palate. Floral and spicy notes linger the background along with the slightest tang of sea salt.
Food Pairing
Maybe as you put feet up to enjoy a good read, or pull out the easel or notepad and let the inspiration flow. Whatever the occasion, mood or season – enjoy this exuberant rosé simply on its own, well chilled, or with an endless variety of culinary complements.
