Located on the heights of Helderberg Mountain, Ernie Els is a South African brand that’s the culmination of a deep friendship between Jean Engelbrecht and Ernie. The two friends went into business with a dream to make an outstanding wine comprising of the five Bordeaux varieties. Their dedication to this cause has been such that they are today considered one of the best manufacturers of red wines.

A climate that is predominantly Mediterranean and the cool sea breezes of summer ensure that temperatures here are optimum for ripening of the grapes – this is responsible for the typical fruity flavor to the Ernie Els wines. The wines, sold under three different brands, are priced thoughtfully to cater to the entire spectrum of wine lovers.

The process used in winemaking including the 20 month maturation in French oak barrels gives it a subtle aftertaste of oak. It also confers the potential to age well. Ernie Els wines are distinctively fruit based – you can sense a mixture of cherry and blackberry with plum with an enticing hint of a spicy finish. The various accolades showered upon this brand by national and international wine experts are a testimony to the painstaking efforts of the highly talented team at Ernie Els.
