Description
Produced by Ernie Els Wines in Stellenbosch, the Major Series Merlot 2021 honours both the legacy of the estate and the winemaker’s commitment to quality. The grapes are hand-picked, whole-berry fermented and matured in fine oak to bring out expression, texture and finesse. This wine invites you into the heart of Stellenbosch: the warm sun, the well-drained soils, the heritage of South African winemaking — all captured in a bottle crafted for the discerning enthusiast.
Picture this wine at the centre of a refined dinner: a deep garnet pour, the air filled with the promise of dark cherries and plums, the tannins firm yet approachable, and the finish long and memorable. With each glass, you taste the artistry behind the estate — direct import, personal involvement, and a wine meant to be savoured.
Tasting notes
Nose: Ripe plum, black cherry and subtle hints of dark chocolate and warm spice.
Palate: Medium-bodied with concentrated dark fruit, smooth polished tannins and a savoury herbal undertone adding depth.
Finish: Long, dry and elegant, with lingering dark berries, gentle spice and a touch of earthy minerality.
