Information about "Ernie Els Major Series Cabernet Sauvignon 2023"
The Ernie Els Major Series Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 stands as a remarkable representation of new world cabernet elegance and power. Its deep black hue captures attention while revealing a captivating aroma profile of red berries, framed by spicy herbs, tea leaves, pomegranate, and gentle spices. On the palate, it showcases brilliant smoothness with a delightful hint of sandalwood. Lush flavors of cranberry and aromatic plum lend enduring length, while delicate violet accents provide refined elegance. The crisp, fruity tannins culminate in a soft, slightly creamy finish.
Hand-harvested in the early hours, fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks, followed by aging for 16 months in 300l French oak barrels, with 20% new oak. An additional 8% matured in clay amphorae for 8 to 10 months.
