Information about "Ernie Els Signature 2017"

Of deep colour with purple rim in the glass, the Ernie Els Signature presents itself again as an absolute sensation with this vintage! This classic Bordeaux-style wine spoils with impressive fullness, elegance and grace. Its concentrated bouquet of fragrant pencil shavings, wet earth, cedar wood, dried leaves and a whole range of sweet fruits ensnares the nose. Aging in new oak gives a richly concentrated palate, framed by dry and detailed tannins. An appealing contrast between classic nuances, luxurious fruit and modern style provides a unique pleasure experience. Its excellent structure and depth provide a great storage potential.

Treatment in the cellar

In früher Morgenstunde wurde das Traubengut geerntet und vorsichtig aussortiert und entrappt. Die Fermentation fand in offenen Stahlfermentern statt. Täglich wurde das Traubengut fünfmal gewendet, um Farbe und Geschmack zu extrahieren. Die Trauben wurden separat vinifiziert und 18 Monate in französischer Eiche ausgebaut (70% Neuholz).
