Characteristics & Details
About this wine
Pinotage Ernst Gouws & Co was vinified in the traditional manner and was then matured for nine months in second fill French oak barrels.Ernst subscribes to the French philosophy that the quality of the grape is inextricably linked to the “terroir”, so he travels to various regions throughout the Western Cape and handpicks his grapes in the areas where they naturally grow at their very best.
Ernst Gouws & Co is a family owned business in the heart of Stellenbosch, South Africa. Synonymous with producing quality South African wines which are rich in heritage, tradition and driven by a profound passion for wine and family values. In 1975 a dapper and enthusiastic Ernst travelled to Europe, under his father’s instructions not to return to South Africa until he had mastered the art of winemaking. During his voyage of discovery to France and Germany he missed his childhood sweetheart, Gwenda and invited her to visit. After falling madly in love they decided to marry there and then. Forty years later, three children and many Gouws grandchildren later, Ernst and Gwenda still run the family business alongside their three children, Ezanne, Ernst Jnr and Inke.
