6 x 750ml bottles Neil Ellis Auction Reserve 2005

A remarkable donation from Neil Ellis, Honorary Member of the Cape Winemakers Guild and one of South Africa's most influential winemakers.

This lot of six bottles presents the 2005 Neil Ellis Auction Reserve - a wine of exceptional pedigree sourced from the celebrated Jonkershoek Valley and matured in tight-grained French oak for 21 months.

Now approaching its twentieth year, this wine has had all the time it needs to fulfil its early promise. Deep, complex aromas of blackcurrant, violet, cedar, and mint give way to a rich, opulent palate of plummy fruit and fine tannins. A rare and historic bottle from a true Cape legend.
