More information about Ernie Els Big Easy Red Blend 2021
The Ernie Els Big Easy Red Blend shines in a deep ruby red and unfolds an intense bouquet of red berries, cassis and blueberries. This fruity aroma is accompanied by fine spicy notes reminiscent of white pepper and a subtle floral nuance. This harmonious combination gives the wine a special depth and elegance.
"On the palate, the cuvée, dominated by Shiraz (60%), is wonderfully accessible and well-structured at the same time. The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (19%), Mourvèdre (6%), Viognier (6%), Grenache Noir (5%) and Cinsault (4%) provides a balanced combination of freshness, spice and soft tannins. Notes of wild berries and fresh herbs underline the multi-faceted character of the wine, while the maturation over twelve to fourteen months in oak barrels ensures a fine depth and pleasant complexity.
Its accessible yet expressive style makes the Ernie Els Big Easy Red Blend a perfect companion for a wide variety of dishes. It harmonizes particularly well with dark meat, be it grilled beef, braised leg of lamb or spicy game dishes. Spicy dishes such as aromatic stews or Mediterranean vegetable dishes with herbs can also be wonderfully combined with this wine.
Whether enjoyed on its own or as a versatile food companion, this red wine delights with its fruity and spicy style and brings a piece of South African wine art to the glass with its smooth structure.
