Tasting Note

Baking spices, dark chocolate and black, vibrant fruits hint at the power to follow. Complex aromas of pure cassis, meat and oak spice lead to a well-integrated fruit centre with dense, but finely-tuned tannins. This is a wonderful blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Shiraz and 5% each of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot where the components are expressive but well-balanced and the whole is so much more than the parts. Powerful, explosive and medium- to full-bodied with the precision of 2017 shining through to a long-defined finish.

Product Notes

Ernie Els Proprietor's Blend is a luxurious, full-bodied red wine that is the embodiment of South African elegance. This blend is crafted using premium Bordeaux varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc. Each grape variety is handpicked, fermented, and aged separately before being carefully blended together to create a wine that is both complex and harmonious. The resulting Proprietor's Blend boasts a deep ruby color, with aromas of blackcurrent, dark cherry, and mulberry. On the palate, rich flavors of plum, blackberry, and dark chocolate are accompanied by hints of vanilla and oak. The wine's velvety tannins and long, smooth finish make it the perfect accompaniment to a rich beef stew or aged cheese.
