About this Item
“In my heart, I am a real farmer. That’s my first passion; farming with vineyards and transforming that into something beautiful in a bottle. And that is how my passion for wine grew.” - Louis Strydom
60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Shiraz, 10% Cinsault
Wine of Origin: Stellenbosch
Winemaker: Louis Strydom
Since the inception of the brand in 1999, Louis has been alongside Ernie every step of the way, acting as a father figure to each wine produced. Throughout the years, he has consistently proven himself as an exceptionally talented winemaker. Louis's deep understanding of the terroir and the performance of the vineyards has been instrumental in the success of his wines. ERNIE ELS CWG 2021 epitomizes the best of the Helderberg, embodying both the cornerstone of Ernie Els Wines and the vision of Louis Strydom.
Tasting Notes: Threads of cedar, vanilla-smoke; a bloom of fragrant red berries, plums and cassis. Flushed with juicy, plummy fruit and spice. A balance between concentration, age-worthy structure and refreshment.
Ready for drinking by 2030.
