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 beautiful wine farm situated in the heart of the Helderberg Mountain in Stellenbosch, South Africa. The winery is the brainchild of golfing legend Ernie Els, a man who loves golf as much as he loves wine. His dream of having a wine farm took flight in 1999 and today it’s a testament to his hard work.

The winery is proud of its range of wines, each one unique but all with an orchestra of flavours. The farm’s terroir is perfect for growing a variety of grapes and that in turn allows for the production of wines that are as different as they are delicious. The wines are the result of a dedicated and meticulous team.

As you enter the beautiful terra-cotta building that houses the winery, you’re immediately hit with the aroma of ripe fruit and you know you’re in for a treat. The building is elegant and charming, just like the man himself.

Visitors get more than just a wine tasting at Ernie Els Wines. The modern yet cosy tasting room has stunning views of the vineyards and mountains. A fine dining restaurant serving gourmet food paired with the estate’s award winning wines, courtesy of the chef’s culinary skills.

But what really sets Ernie Els Wines apart is the personal touch that Ernie has put into it. Every bottle of wine is part of Ernie’s journey from being a world renowned sportsman to a wine maker, so wine lovers get not just a drink but a piece of Ernie and his passion.
