Ernie Els Big Easy Red Blend |1x750ml
Blend : Shiraz 60%; Cabernet Sauvignon 20%; Grenache 5%; Mourvèdre 5%; Cinsault 5% and Viognier 5%
The Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Mourvèdre, Grenache and Viognier were sourced from selected vineyard parcels on the Helderberg Mountain within the Stellenbosch appellation.
The typical soils found on the Helderberg provide a rich middle-palate weight, giving the wine exceptional depth and fruit purity. The Cinsault grapes were sourced from a specific vineyard site planted with 26-year-old dryland bush vines in the Perdeberg region.
- Based on Syrah, we find lots of deep red and black berry fruit, with vibrant spice notes and floral perfume from dollops of Cinsault and Grenache.
- The Cabernet Sauvignon adds some graphite and notes of fresh tilled earth.
- The palate is filled with cool fruit, lifted with spice and fleshed out with juicy, bold yet crunchy freshness.
- The tannins add length and structure leading to a linear and pretty send off.
- There is a good mix of serious focused tannins, elegant cedar oak spice and fresh fynbos lift that makes for a clever blend that works very well and is a seamless knit of lovely, perfumed florals, and fine juicy fruit.
