The Ernie Els Merlot has a mélange of fruit compote, chocolate and fine spices, which seamlessly run through to the complex palate and, coupled with nuances of dry earth and a hint of mint, combine with classic notes of well-integrated oak wood and ripe fruit to create a perfect pleasure. The fresh acidity rounds off the nuances of ripe berry fruit in an excellent way, while the strong tannin provides a beautiful depth and tension. The aftertaste is intensely structured and dry, which provides an excellent storage potential.

Treatment in the cellar

After harvesting in the early morning hours, the grapes were sorted by hand and lightly crushed, after which they fermented in open stainless steel tanks. Mash fermentation took place on the skins for 7 - 14 days. After pressing, the wine matured for 14 months in 300 litre French oak barrels.
