Information about "Neil Ellis Jonkershoek Cabernet Sauvignon 2018"

The Neil Ellis Jonkershoek Cabernet Sauvignon is the flagship of the Neil Ellis Cabernets. A wine of unmistakable balance between elegance and fruit. With an intense dark colour in the glass, it presents a deep and complex bouquet of black and blue berries, combined with beguiling aromas of fine cedar wood and subtle hints of mint. On the palate it is extremely soft and rich with a fine but dense tannin structure. Ripe and soft tannins with a hearty expression round off this first-class drop in a wonderful way. An absolute pleasure experience!

Treatment in the cellar

Die Gärung des Traubenguts fand zunächst in Tanks aus Edelstahl statt, mit abschließender malolaktischer Gärung in neuer französischer Eiche. Anschließend reifte der Wein 18 Monate lang in 100% neuen fransösischen Barriques.
