As one of South Africa’s leading ambassadors and most recognizable of faces in the world of sport, it was fitting that Ernie should choose Stellenbosch to produce his wines, with vineyards located high up on the northern slopes of the Helderberg Mountain. The stunning new winery opened at the end of 2004.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the help of award-winning winemaker Louis Strydom, they produced the maiden 2000 vintage of Ernie Els – a ‘classic’ Bordeaux blend. The intention from the outset was to focus on delivering a quality product that could hold its own in the company of the world’s finest wines. As demand for Ernie’s wines has grown, so has the range. The team was caught out by the unexpected level of demand for the inaugural vintage of ‘Big Easy’, a delicious, fruit-driven red blend which is now accompanied by a refreshing Big Easy Chenin Blanc and Rosé.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cinsault. Rubied plum. Silky tones of boysenberry, blackcurrant, and black-plum skin unpeel, drifted in subtle toast and oak-spice. Medium-bodied, the palate is well-rounded and defined. Red and black berries coalesce with plummy, morello cherry richness, deftly held by appetising scratch of fine-grippy tannins, evolving to a salted liquorice edge. The finish, juicy and sumptuous, is lifted by waves of refreshment from well-judged acidity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Africa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57858748318070,"sku":"0001-7216","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0437\/0215\/7464\/files\/Big-Easy-Cab-Sauv-NV-hr-scaled.jpg?v=1778603110","url":"https:\/\/www.tauruswines.co.uk\/products\/0001-7216","provider":"Taurus Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
