Information about "Ernie Els Proprietor's Blend 2017"

From medium to full-bodied, the Ernie Els Proprietors Blend presents itself with delicious nuances of black fruits, exotic spices and dark chocolate. Sweet and spicy notes of first-class oak wood merge into a strongly fruity and well-structured core. The main part of Cabernet Sauvignon brings pure cassis character and slightly salty hints, while the Shiraz transfers a fleshy, hearty and spicy component into the wine. The remaining Bordeaux grape varieties Petit Verdot, Malbec, Merlot and Cabernet Franc round off this first-class wine in an excellent way and provide an immense complexity.

Treatment in the cellar

Die Trauben wurden in den frühen Morgenstunden per Hand gelesen, vorsichtig sortiert und leicht gequetscht. Sie fermentierten in offenen Edelstahltanks. Die Maischegärung erfolgte für einen Zeitraum von zehn - 16 Tagen vor der Pressung. Nach Abschluss der Gärung reifte der Wein 18 Monate lang in Fässern aus 95% französischer und 5% amerikanischer Eiche, von denen 30% Neuholz ausmachten.
