The Ernie Els Merlot has a mélange of fruit compote, chocolate and fine spices, which seamlessly run through to the complex palate and, coupled with nuances of dry earth and a hint of mint, combine with classic notes of well-integrated oak wood and ripe fruit to create a perfect pleasure. The fresh acidity rounds off the nuances of ripe berry fruit in an excellent way, while the strong tannin provides a beautiful depth and tension. The aftertaste is intensely structured and dry, which provides an excellent storage potential.

Nach der Lese in den frühen Morgenstunden wurden die Trauben per Hand sortiert und leicht gequetscht, wonach sie in offenen Edelstahltanks fermentierten. Die Maischegärung erfolgte für 7 - 14 Tage auf der Haut. Nach dem Abpressen reifte der Wein 16 Monate lang in 300 Liter Fässern aus französischer Eiche.
