About this Item
Mindful that no single vineyard can satisfy the needs of all grape varieties, Neil Ellis set out to identify distinct terroir in which individual varieties will excel. Neil's vision has always been to 'make distinctive, refined wines that are expressive of their terrain and rank amongst South Africa's finest'.

Critics Ratings
'The Jonkershoek Valley receives more rain than almost anywhere else in South Africa, but that hasn't negatively affected this wine. Big, chewy and warm, this Shiraz has solid tannins and flavors of blueberry, coffee, earth and a touch of vanilla. The nose offers much of the same, with semisweet chocolate adding to the complexity. Finishes with good length and plenty of spicy fruit.' - Wine Enthusiast (Jan 2006)
