Aromas of red berries, fig compote, ripe strawberries, cassis and violet flowers flowered aromas of vanilla, mocha and licorice. Long and balanced, the mouthfeel is rich but with silky tannins.
The wine exhibits dusty aromas of dark and red berries, dry herbs, and spices in deep dark garnet. Black pepper and cedar, with hints of cherries, round out the nose. The first sip is earthy, mineral with pencil shaving and dust. Blueberries and dark chocolate accompany the long after taste.
The 2021 Ehlers Estate Sylviane Rosé is an elegant salmon pink rosé with a fresh aroma of strawberries, white peach, and pear. Delicate, with subtle floral aromas. Very refreshing but intense in flavors. Silky mouthfeel, fresh, with hints of vanilla, fresh-cut herbs, and wild underripe berries, it finishes with vibrant acidity and long-lasting candied fruit. 55% of the juice was fermented in used barrels, sur lie, which enhanced the body and acid structure in the final blend.
