Ernie Els Wines
Ernie Els Wines is located on the wine-friendly slopes of the Helderberg. Ernie Els Wines was founded by Ernie Els and Jean Engelbrecht, these two longstanding friends have a single driving passion. Perfection.
History of Ernie Els Wines
Ernie Els Wines was born in 1999 when two friends wished to combine their love of great red wines, pride for South Africa and a drive for perfection. With merging of Jean Engelbrecht’s worldly wine knowledge and Ernie Els’ reputation for excellence was the first step.
Next was the purchasing of the perfect farm. This was found in the “Golden Triangle” of wine making on the slopes of the Helderberg. High up on the slopes it avails itself to optimal sunlight and the fresh sea breeze helps to cool and lengthen the grapes ripening time.
In 2004 the newly built winery of Ernie Els Wines was opened and the dreams of these two friends were fully realized. Not more than a year later the Guardian Peak brand opened its home base within shouting distance of Ernie Els Winery.
