Ernie Els, Big Easy Rose, Cabernet Sauvignon.
Inviting pale rose in colour. The nose bursts with spring blossoms, fresh raspberry and strawberry notes, and a refreshing herbal cut. The palate is juicy with red apple, red berry mélange and vibrant piquant acidity. A mouth-watering palate with freshness and subtle flavours offers great summer drinking.

Hand-picked grapes arrive at the winery in the mornings. The whole bunches are transferred straight into the membrane press. This whole bunch press action help to preserve fruit and floral aromas while preventing the extraction of phenols or tannins from the skins. The pressed juiced is settled and racked before being inoculated for fermentation. After fermentation is complete the rosé wine is transferred to old barrels for a 3-month period and left on its fine lees. Before bottling the wine is racked from the barrels, stabilized and filtered to ensure a fresh and aromatic wine in bottle.
