About this Item
Established In 1999 as a joint venture partnership between world famous golfer, Ernie Els, and Jean Engelbrecht of Rust & Vrede. Els naturally chose Stellenbosch, South Africa's most storied wine region, to produce his wines and they brought on the award-winning Louis Strydom to oversee winemaking.
The 2013 Proprietor’s Cabernet Sauvignon is a perfect reflection of a great Stellenbosch vintage.
Critics Ratings
‘Powerhouse, massive 2013 tightly concentrated, black hearted and robustly textured, but precise and focused, ticking all the boxes. Made for the long haul, should be more accessible after a few years’ cellaring.’ Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2016, 4.5*
‘This pure Cabernet sees 80% new oak, but has the density, focus and concentration to soak it up. It’s a powerful, strapping red with plenty of grip and power supported by acidity, fine-grained tannins and a core of blackcurrant and bramble fruit. Essence of the Helderberg. Drink: 2017-24’ - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2016, 93/100
