Tasting Note

Rubied with a violet core. Vividly fragrant; black and red cherries, plum compôte, printer’s ink, wild raspberry leaf, forest. Molten cherries come to the fore of the palate, cresting on a wave of airy, pillowy tannins; then blackberries, plums, and tangy redcurrants. The wine rises in sapidity towards the finish, going savoury with crushed coriander spice in the echo.

Product Notes

Ernie Els Major Series Merlot is an exquisite South African wine, notorious for its soft, voluptuous character. Boasting a brilliant, deep ruby hue, it seduces with layered aromas of opulent black cherry, plum and dark chocolate. Upon tasting, hints of spice and tobacco tantalisingly unfold, accented by supple tannins and a well-integrated oak nuance. This rich, full-bodied Merlot demonstrates remarkable complexity, finishing with an elegant, lingering note of dark fruit. A truly refined classic, it's a testament to the winemaking prowess of the esteemed golfer, Ernie Els. A perfect companion to hearty red meat dishes.
