About this Item

2001 Estate
3 (1 x 3) 750ml

Established In 1999 as a joint venture partnership between world famous golfer, Ernie Els, and Jean Engelbrecht of Rust & Vrede. Els naturally chose Stellenbosch, South Africa's most storied wine region, to produce his wines and they brought on the award-winning Louis Strydom to oversee winemaking.

Provenance

Wine Cellar Private Client

Critics Ratings

 ‘Terrific modern-style wine. Confidently rendered with blackberry, black currant and boysenberry fruit that oozes along the palate, while cocoa powder, Lapsang souchong tea, black fig and Kona coffee notes ripple through the finish. Still a bit tight, so cellar. A hair less rich but with more exotic flavors than the debut '00. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec.’ – James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (Feb 2004)
