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
• Louis has walked the long road with Ernie since the brand’s inception in 1999, and has been father to each and every wine produced.
• His understanding of the terroir and performance levels of the vineyards have been the key ingredient to the success of his wines.
• CWG 2020 offers the best of the Helderberg – a blend of the core Helderberg varieties and the cornerstone of Ernie Els Wines - and the Louis Strydom vision.
Tasting Notes: Fruit-forward with delicate aromas of damson fruit, black tea and violets. Aged 18 months in French oak, it presents fine, yet grippy tannins with spicy undertone. Offers excellent ageing potential.
Ready for drinking from 2030.
