Ernie Els Major Series Cabernet Sauvignon |1x750ml
The various Cabernet Sauvignon clones grown at the property were hand-picked, and great care was taken to ensure each block was processed separately.
The bunches were sorted and destemmed before secondary sorting via an optical sorter took place. The whole berries were fermented in open top tanks. Premium selection grapes from selected parcels within the various clonal blocks were fermented in smaller open fermenters. Intermittent pumpovers and punch downs were done to ensure that the right flavours, aromas and tannins could be extracted from the berries.
- Black plum, going purple to the rim.
- Scents of flint and fire, cassis leaf, cherries, and bramblewood cocooned in luxurious cedar styling accented with creamy vanilla pod.
- Lemony-fresh tannins carve around a core of succulent red and black cherries, plums, redcurrants.
- Going sappy and chewy to the edges, the dimension of the evolving tannic structure creates depth as well as tension.
- The acidity is cool, mineral and threads through lifting and sculpting, an energetic dance of fruit brightness to its velvet backbone.
- Arrestingly, finely dry and bursting with vitality.
