Neil Ellis Groenekloof Syrah

The Neil Ellis Groenekloof Syrah from the Groenekloof growing region on the Atlantic coast of South Africa combines a variety of notes of blackberries, blueberries, plums, cherries and violets on the nose. There are also nuances of white pepper, licorice and distinct roasted aromas.

The purple-red wine is opulent on the palate, with well-integrated tannins, balanced acidity and a round texture. Allow the red wine to breathe for a while so that it can reveal its full range of aromas.

The Neil Ellis Groenekloof Syrah comes from rather low-yielding bush vines, i.e. vines without wire frame training. The growing area is not irrigated. The Gronekloof Syrah from the Neil Ellis winery matures for 15 months in French oak.

Enjoy this wine with pork belly and braised chicken.

Neil Ellis Wines

Neil Ellis Wines gehört zu den Vorreitern der Qualitätsrevolution im Weinbau in Südafrika und hat sich ganz dem Qualitätsanspruch verschrieben.

Gegründet wurde Neil Ellis Wines 1986 von den zwei passionierten Weinexperten Neil Ellis und Hans Peter Schroder, die nach äußerst erfolgreichen Soloprojekten den Weg des Joint Ventures einschlugen.

Neil Ellis selbst hat sich am Kap einen Namen als Spitzenweinmaker gemacht, als er unter anderem für KWV, Groot Constantia Estate und Zevenwacht tätig war. Ihm obliegt auch im gleichnamigen Weingut die Verantwortung der Weinbereitung. Und die kann sich wahrlich genießen lassen.

Product recommendation

Kleine Zalze Vineyard Selection Syrah
The Kleine Zalze Vineyard Syrah (Shiraz) has a wonderfully stimulating bouquet offering nuances of ripe red fruit, cedar and peppery, spicy notes as well, complemented by subtle, harmonious roast aromas. This pure varietal Shiraz from the Coastal region is dense and fruity on the palate, with well-integrated, ripe tannins and a great balance.The red wine from South Africa matured for 18 months in French oak casks, of which 30% were new and 30% each were second- and third-fill barrels. The dry Kleine Zalze Vineyard Shiraz is a very good accompaniment to saddle of venison, rack of lamb, rump steak or medium-strong cheeses.
