Information about "Ernie Els Major Series Cabernet Sauvignon 2023"
The Ernie Els Major Series Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 epitomizes the bold sophistication of new world cabernet. Its inky hue captivates the eye, while the nose unfurls a complex bouquet of red berry fruits intermingled with enticing hints of herbs, tea leaves, pomegranate, and delicate spices. On the palate, it showcases a velvety texture enriched by a delightful touch of sandalwood. Lush cranberry and aromatic plum nuances contribute to remarkable length, accented by subtle violet undertones that exude elegance. The crisp, fruity tannins melt into a smooth yet slightly creamy finish.
Hand-harvested in the early hours, fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks, followed by aging for 16 months in 300l French oak barrels, with 20% new oak. An additional 8% matured in clay amphorae for 8 to 10 months.
