Neil Ellis Auction Reserve 2007
Exquisite parcels of Jonkershoek Valley fruit were separately vinified in open top fermenters. Towards the end of fermentation, the wine was racked into 100% new oak where it completed fermentation. After malolactic fermentation, individual components were classified and selected for inclusion into the 2007 Auction Reserve blend. 16 Months barrel maturation followed. Tasting Notes: Concentrated deep red colour. An already complex bouquet combines clean and rich blackcurrant, blackberry and a touch of vanilla oak. The amalgam of fruit flavours including plum, mulberry, redcurrant and blueberry is backed with just the right amount of clean oak. A finely poised wine expressing the characteristics of the Jonkershoek Valley.
