Youthful & Complex

This product is available online as part of the Vintages Online and Flagship Exclusives program. Please feel free to contact us at info@npwines.com if you need any assistance locating stock. Shipping will take approximately 2 weeks from the time the wine is ordered. 

In 1984 Neil Ellis sourced grapes from vineyards not of his own and produced wine in rented cellar space. These grapes were sourced in the Stellenbosch district and meant a lot of nosing around the restrictive quota system prevalent at the time.

Today, the experience and knowledge of the past are applied to modern techniques and technologies for a new generation of winemaking. “Our vision remains to make distinctive, refined wines that are expressive of their terrain and rank amongst South Africa’s finest. A pursuit of quality, nothing less.”- Neil Ellis

Op sy moer translates as “sur lie” or “on the lees”, meaning instead of going their separate ways, the wine and the lees stay in touch for some light flirting. This is a blend of Palomino and Chenin Blanc with a complex nose of citrus zest, quince and sliced apple peel. Fresh and vibrant on the palate with lovely texture and a long creamy finish, thanks to the lees contact. This is a wine that will keep evolving in the glass as with bottle aging. For best results store cork down and 3-5 days before enjoying, turn the bottle cork up to allow the lees to settle.

Pair with Paella or Porkbelly with an apple sauce

Neil Ellis Jonkershoek Cabernet Sauv Stellenbosch 2018

A pursuit of quality, nothing less.”- Neil Ellis

The grapes were sourced from a south-west facing trellised vineyard grown
in decomposed granite and Table Mountain sandstone. These small, distinctive sites are enclosed in the valley of Jonkershoek where the south facing slopes are significantly cooler than the surrounding area of Stellenbosch.

Intense dark colour. A pretty subtle, intriguing and appetizing nose with
blue and blackberries and typical cedar aromas from the Jonkershoek
Valley. The palate is nervous and fresh, followed by a well defined tannin
structure. This is a wine built to last and early drinking would benefit with
decanting.

Pair with Venison and ribeye on the bone

Afrikaans name, 'On The Lees', alerts you to cloudiness & sediment in 2020, certified as 'alternative white'. From palomino (51%) & chenin from Piekenierskloof, packed with umani (nuts, seaweed, salt) & ginger. Bone-dry, light & pleasingly tannic. Bunch pressed & naturally fermented in old oak, no sulphur added.

SA classic from prime terroir, built for 10+ years. Liquorice, cedar & fresh herb overlay to pure cassis fruit, precise acid & fine-boned tannin, tightly focused exemplar of this wine's signature elegance, harmony, latent power. All-new oak, 18 months, like standout 2017.

Compact and dark red fruited, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Jonkershoek Valley offers cassis, blackberry and spiced plum notions in the glass. Medium to full-bodied, the wine offers soft hints of herbs, graphite, pencil lead and dark cherry skin before notions of violets sway across the mid-palate with a firm tannic edge. It’s still tight and youthful and will benefit from an additional year in bottle; however, the wine should drink particularly well for the next 12 years.
