Ernie Els CWG 2015
The grapes were hand-picked in the cool of early morning. Grape bunches were
gently
destalked and lightly crushed. On the sorting table, all excess
stalks and rotten berries were carefully removed by hand. Fermentation took
place in small 300 litre open top oak barrels with three weeks extended
maturation. The wines were punched down manually five times per day,
ensuring maximum colour extraction from the skins. Each variety was
separately vinified and blended after 18 months of maturation.
