Product Notes

The Ernie Els Signature wine is a South African treasure, celebrating the meeting of sport and vineyard artistry. This Bordeaux-style blend showcases a deep, opulent ruby colour, exuding an elegant complexity and refined structure. A symphony of blackcurrant, cherries and plums harmonises with a graceful hint of cinnamon and milk chocolate, resulting in a captivating palate experience. This meticulously crafted wine deftly balances voluptuous fruit depth with a savoury finish, promising sublime ageing potential. It’s simply an exquisite testament to the passion and precision that marks both Ernie Els' golfing prowess and his winemaking journey.

Tasting Notes

Fruit cake plus a mixture of dried fruits, plums, mince pie, cocoa dust, vanilla and prunes. Secondary aromas of leather, tobacco, cigar, pipe tobacco and charcoal counter the dense cherry-cola fruit purity. Serious and layered with elements of fynbos to add lift to a firm palate with a long and delicious finish. It is powerful, full-bodied, classic, dry and long ending

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.
