Product Notes

Ernie Els Proprietor's Blend is an exquisite South African wine oozing opulence. A harmonious mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, and Petit Verdot, the blend delivers unparalleled complexity and a rich, full-bodied flavour profile. It presents a lush nose of currants, chocolate, and spices, while the palate rolls with a luxurious velvety texture, ending in a lengthy, spicy finish. The wine's deep garnet hue adds to its allure, making it a must-have for any discerning wine connoisseur. Crafted at the legendary golfer's Stellenbosch winery, this wine is a game-changer in its class.

Tasting Notes

Baking spices, dark chocolate and black, vibrant fruits hint at the power to follow. Complex aromas of pure cassis, meat and oak spice lead to a well-integrated fruit centre with dense, but finely-tuned tannins. This is a wonderful blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Shiraz and 5% each of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot where the components are expressive but well-balanced and the whole is so much more than the parts. Powerful, explosive and medium- to full-bodied with the precision of 2017 shining through to a long-defined finish.

About the Winery

Ernie Els

Ernie Els Wines is a striking wine estate nestled amidst the robust beauty of the Helderberg Mountain in Stellenbosch, South Africa. The winery is the cherished endeavour of acclaimed golfer Ernie Els, a sportsman whose passion for the delicate art of winemaking is as profound as his love for golf. His dream of owning a vineyard took flight in 1999, and today, the winery is a veritable testament to his commitment.

The winery prides itself in its sterling array of wines, with each distinctive in character, yet united by an elaborate symphony of flavours. The vineyard's unique terroir provides the perfect setting for the cultivation of a rich variety of grapes. This in turn, paves the way for the production of a range of wines that are as distinctive as they are exquisite. The meticulously crafted wines are the wholesome result of a dedicated and meticulous team.

On entering the impressive, terra-cotta building that houses the winery, your senses are immediately immersed in the aroma of ripe fruits, hinting at the masterful products within. The building embodies an elegant sophistication and an alluring charm, much like its owner's charismatic persona.

Visitors are treated to more than just a wine-tasting experience at Ernie Els Wines. The estate boasts a contemporary, yet cosy tasting room offering panoramic views of the luscious vineyards and towering mountain ranges. A fine-dining restaurant offering epicurean delights perfectly paired with the estate's award-winning wines, due-to the chef's flair for creating gastronomic masterpieces.

But what truly sets Ernie Els Wines apart from its competitors is the personal touch that the golfer has imparted to it. Every bottle of wine is a part of Els' journey from being an internationally respected sportsman to a celebrated vintner, offering wine enthusiasts not just a drink, but a slice of Els' passion and dedication.
