New wine from Neil Ellis reflects family tradition
The newly launched Webb Ellis wine, a 65% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Jonkershoek Valley and 35% Syrah from Groenekloof in Darling, reflects the new generation of winemaking at Neil Ellis Wines. The wine takes its name from the Ellis and Webb families: Neil's wife Stephanie's maiden name is Webb. It honours the journey of Neil Ellis Wines from a solo venture to a family business, as Neil's son, Warren, shares responsibilities as winemaker and viticulturist. Only 780 numbered bottles were produced, with 600 bottles available from the cellar and at a few select specialist wine merchants, retailing at R1000.
