Neil Ellis SincerelyCase of Shiraz 2016 (6 Bottles, R53.16 per Bottle)

About

Mindful that no single vineyard can satisfy the needs of all grape varieties, Neil Ellis set out to identify distinct terroir in which individual varieties will excel. He placed the emphasis not only on the environment but also on caring viticultural practices by a dedicated team of growers which extends through to the winemaking practices.

Today the journey of Neil Ellis Wines is not only of Neil Ellis anymore. After four decades of making wine, the next stage of the journey has begun with Neil's son, Warren, sharing responsibilities of winemaker and viticulturist in the pursuit of quality winemaking. Neil's youngest son, Charl heads the financial team while his daughter Margot fulfills the role of brand manager.

Lifted aromas of dark ripe fruit, pepper and spice are complemented by plum notes. Well-balanced oak supports flavours of cherry, plums and fruit cake with sweetmid-palate on the finish. Medium intense colour with plum red and crimson hues.
