Three Ernie Els wines

you will never forget

Falstaff magazine, an expert in the wine sector and a reference in Europe, has rated three wines from Ernie Els. Here are the three wines that you absolutely must taste.

The Major Series is a Cabernet Sauvignon, according to Falstaff: «a variety that retains its typical characteristics even outside its native area in the Bordelais – even in Stellenbosch the grape does not lose its typical characteristics. The subtleties of the aromas are enhanced by the challenging 2017 vintage, which in Stellenbosch resulted in lower yields in terms of quantity, yet excellent quality. Black cherry and ripe plums, fresh red fruits on the palate, a bouquet of classic cigar notes and red berries – the wine is perfect to prove South Africa’s class».

Major Series – Cabernet Sauvignon – 2017

95 Points by Decanter

Bouquet of red berries with classic cigar notes over elegant crushed dried herbs, black cherry and ripe plums. The palate is invitingly fresh with red fruits and an earthy undertow. The tannins are still tight, medium-bodied and express the crystalline character of the 2017 vintage. As the wine evolves in the glass, there is an attractive tension between red and black fruits with hints of liquorice over a linear, concentrated and dry finish.

Another star among our wines is Big Easy Cabernet Sauvignon, one of our customers’ favourites and very popular at our events.

«Granite soils with layers of Tukulu and Oakleaf provide a rich terroir that gives the wines exceptional depth and purity. The vineyards include nine Cabernet Sauvignon clones, carefully selected for their unique qualities. The vineyards face north and northeast to absorb as much sunlight as possible to produce the full and fruity wines that are typical of the Ernie Els Wines style. The Big Easy Cabernet Sauvignon Rose 2021 is accordingly fruit-driven, berry rosé with hints of candied cherries and dried strawberries on the nose,» writes Falstaff.

The Big Easy is also available as a Red Blend and is also a favourite of our customers.

««The Big Easy» is a nickname earned by the owner of the winery, Ernie Els, not only because of his elegant golf swing and large stature, but also because of his big heart and philanthropic commitment – he is also synonymous with excellence in wine, because it embodies these very values: full flavour and yet easy accessibility via the palate into the heart. It is only particularly elegant drops that are allowed to bear the name Big Easy, with fruity aromas and notes of chocolate and spices that will lastingly delight every wine lover,» Falstaff emphasises about him.
