Ernie Els

Stellenbosch Bordeaux blends with structure and depth.

Ernie Els produces wines from Stellenbosch, in the Coastal Region of South Africa's Western Cape. The winery's portfolio centers on Bordeaux-inflected red blends that draw on the region's capacity for structured, age-worthy wines. The CWG and Cape Winemakers Guild Red—both built from Shiraz, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon—represent the core of the range, while the Signature blend adds Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec to the foundation. These wines have been assessed by Wine Advocate, Decanter, Wine Spectator, Falstaff, and Wine Enthusiast, reflecting their standing within the South African fine wine conversation. Stellenbosch's maritime-influenced climate and well-drained soils support the ripening of these varieties, allowing for wines with both power and definition.
