What to expect

Ernst & Co Wine Farm is situated on the picturesque Stellenbosch wine route (R101) in South Africa's Cape Winelands. We are based at the foot of the Simonsberg Mountain in the Muldersvlei district, 40 minutes drive from Cape Town, 15 kilometres from Stellenbosch.

For four generations the Gouws family has been intrinsically linked to the fine art of winemaking and the family name Ernst Gouws & Co on a bottle of wine remains mindful of this tradition.

Through utilizing our family strengths and believing in our own abilities, we produce premium quality, interesting and distinctive red and white wines in an environmentally sensitive and ethically responsible manner.

WINE ENTHUSIAST, one of the world's leading wine magazines in the USA, rated and reviewed the Ernst Gouws & Co Shiraz 2008 as a 'Best Buy', handing it a score of 87 points.
Scoring at 87 points is a tremendous achievement for a South African Shiraz and one on which the Ernst team is particularly proud of.
