Product Description:
The Ernie Els Major Series Merlot is an absolute picture-perfect Merlot! Its seductive bouquet of ripe plums and subtly earthy notes captivates the nose with complex hints of ripe strawberries, damp forest floor, a touch of chocolate, black forest berries, and finely caramelized oak spice. The hearty palate is lined with sweet oak nuances, perfectly rounded off by a subtle saline touch. From the mid-palate, this highly acclaimed Merlot presents itself with a pleasant freshness and a balanced acidity that leads to a clean, long-lasting finish.

Vinifikation The Merlot vines grow on the warm, north-facing slopes of the Helderberg region within the Stellenbosch appellation. At an altitude of approximately 250 meters above sea level, the cooling influence of the Atlantic Ocean leads to beautiful phenolic ripeness. The hand-picked grapes arrive at the winery in the morning. The grapes are sorted and destemmed. Whole grapes are fermented in both open-top tanks and barrels. Intermittent pump-overs and punch-downs ensure a balance between flavor, color, and tannin extraction from the skins. The fermentation process is closely monitored to ensure that all natural aromas and flavors are preserved and highlighted as needed. After primary fermentation, some batches are left on the skins to extend maceration as required. The batches are pressed and transferred to a combination of old and new oak for aging. Each batch of Merlot is aged separately in oak barrels (micro-vinified) before being blended and finally bottled. In total, the wine spent 16 months in French oak barrels.
