Description
Ernie Els Signature is the flagship red at Ernie Els and doubles as one of South Africa’s strongest bordeaux blends. Produced from prime vineyards in the Helderberg appellation of Stellenbosch, the 2021 vintage is made up of Cabernet Sauvignon 60%, Merlot 25%, Cabernet Franc 5%, Malbec 5%, Petit Verdot 5% .
Dark crimson. Struck-flint, lustrous dark cherries and blackcurrant cassis play the opening keys. Wafts of savoury spice, a touch of toasty oak, and a flash of thyme in the background. Focused and elegant, the palate peels off layers of fruit, red and black cherries, plums, following a spine of muscular tannins, smoothing to silk at the edges, unwinding into a black gravel minerality on the finish.
Alcohol: 13.5% ABV
