The Ernie Els Major Series Cabernet Sauvignon is the epitome of a Cab Sauv of the new world. Almost black as ink, it flows into the glass and exudes the typical aroma profile of red fruits paired with wonderful scents of coconut, vanilla, raspberry and sweet spices. On the palate it presents itself of brilliant smoothness with a delicious touch of white chocolate. Seductive nuances of lush cranberry and aromatic Morello cherry lend remarkable length, while fine hints of salty liquorice provide freshness and elegance. Crunchy fruity tannins melt here into a soft and slightly creamy finish.

The grapes were harvested by hand in the early morning hours. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks, after which the wine matured for 17 months in French oak barrels with a capacity of 300 litres. 20% of the oak barrels used were new wood.
