About this Item

Louis Strydom - Ernie Els Wines

Ernie Els Leather Suitcase with 4 x 750ml Ernie Els CWG Vertical Collection

An exquisite, hand-made Ernie Els leather display suitcase.

This bespoke case beautifully showcases a vertical collection of Louis Strydom’s Ernie Els CWG wine (2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 vintages), along with two branded Ernie Els red wine glasses and an elegant Ernie Els bottle opener.

Certainly, a one-of-a-kind collector’s item.

Louis has walked the long road with Ernie since the brands inception during 1999 and has been father to each and every wine produced. He has continued to distinguish himself as an exceptionally gifted winemaker. His understanding of the terroir, and performance levels of the vineyards have been a key ingredient to the success of his wines. His Ernie Els CWG offers the best of the Helderberg - the cornerstone of Ernie Els Wines and the Louis Strydom vision.
