Big Easy Red 2022
Description
Nestled on the slopes of the Helderberg Mountains in Stellenbosch, Ernie Els Wines reflects the finesse and dedication of its founder, golf legend Ernie Els. The Big Easy Red 2022 captures the essence of the estate's philosophy: producing wines that are both sophisticated and accessible. Imagine unwinding on a sun-drenched terrace, the aroma of ripe cherries and spices wafting from your glass, as you savor the culmination of meticulous viticulture and winemaking.
Tasting Notes
The Big Easy Red 2022 presents a ruby hue with a translucent rim. On the nose, it offers fresh cinnamon, all-spice, and tobacco leaf, intertwined with black and red cherries. The palate is led by 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by 30% Shiraz, and nuanced by 5% each of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec. This composition delivers a medium-bodied wine with silky-smooth tannins, vibrant fruit complexity, and a well-judged freshness.

-
Grilled lamb chops with rosemary and garlic
-
Beef tenderloin accompanied by roasted root vegetables
-
Mushroom risotto infused with truffle oil
-

Its balanced profile also complements spicy cuisines, making it an excellent choice for dishes featuring bold flavors.
