Neil EllisJonkershoek Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

About

In 1984 Neil Ellis sourced grapes from vineyards not of his own and produced wine in rented cellar space. His vision, the pursuit of quality, extended out of the cellar and into the vineyards where varieties would excel and best express a particular style of wine reflective of their environment. Today, the experience and knowledge of the past are applied to modern techniques and technologies for a new generation of winemaking.
