multi-faceted and elegant Cabernet Sauvignon Jonkershoek Valley by Neil Ellis is a varietal red wine from the South African wine region Stellenbosch.
In the glass, this wine shines in a rich cherry red with purple highlights. The multi-layered bouquet is carried by strong aromas of blackcurrants, floral hints of violet, cedar wood and a hint of mint. Thanks to the barrique development, a beautiful oak wort accompanies the aromas of the nose on the palate. This South African red wine cannot hide the complexity behind its youthful charm. The fine tannins are very well woven into the dense body. This red wine concludes with a pleasant, long finale.
Vinification of Neil Ellis Cabernet Sauvignon Jonkershoek Valley
After the careful harvesting of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes in the Jonkershoek Valley, the harvested crop is brought to Neil Ellis' wine cellar. There, the mash is first fermented in stainless steel tanks. After completion of the fermentation process, this red wine is aged for 20 months in French oak barriques - 75% of which are new wood.
