Ernie Els Major Series Merlot 2022

Crafted in tribute to Ernie Els’ achievements on and off the golf course, the Major Series Merlot is a refined and expressive wine that captures the essence of Stellenbosch terroir. Deep ruby with a violet core, it opens with aromas of black and red cherries, plum compôte, wild raspberry leaf, and a whisper of graphite. The palate is silky and layered—molten cherries glide over pillowy tannins, followed by juicy blackberries, plums, and a bright redcurrant tang. A savoury, lifted finish hints at crushed coriander and forest floor, adding complexity and depth. This is Merlot at its most generous yet graceful.
