mehrere Informationen

Of deep colour with purple rim in the glass, the Ernie Els Signature presents itself again as an absolute sensation with this vintage! This classic Bordeaux-style wine spoils with impressive fullness, elegance and grace. Its concentrated bouquet of fragrant pencil shavings, wet earth, cedar wood, dried leaves and a whole range of sweet fruits ensnares the nose. Aging in new oak gives a richly concentrated palate, framed by dry and detailed tannins. An appealing contrast between classic nuances, luxurious fruit and modern style provides a unique pleasure experience. Its excellent structure and depth provide a great storage potential.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were harvested early in the morning and carefully sorted and destemmed. The fermentation took place in open steel fermenters. The grapes were turned five times a day to extract colour and flavour. The grapes were vinified separately and aged for 20 months in French oak (70% new wood).
