[Whale Cottage Portfolio Blog] Neil Ellis wines shine at Mount Nelson Hotel Wine and Dine! | Whale ...: The more I thought about the dinner on the way home, the more I felt that the Dine side of the evening was a let-down, compared to the stature of the Neil Ellis wines, the Kabeljou being unacceptably salty, the dessert being a messy mix of chocolate items, and the soup being unspectacular.  The Cheese course was the highlight, in being so unusual.  Unacceptable for a five-star hotel was the stretching of the waiter to place the fork, when he could have walked around to place it on the left.   The Mount Nelson Wine and Dine evenings are an excellent way in which to get to meet and chat to the winemaker, and to get an idea of his/her personality.  It was commendable that Chef Rudi did the rounds amongst the guests, when he had finished the food preparation.  He and Neil have a similar more reserved and unflashy way about them, just getting on with what needs to be done.  I enjoyed chatting to Osnat, and getting to know more about her, the Mount Nelson Hotel, and the Orient Express group that the hotel belongs to.

[Whale Cottage Portfolio Blog] Neil Ellis Wines moves to new Helshoogte Pass Tasting Room: I asked for a brochure and more information, and the two ladies on duty seemed quite hesitant about providing it, blaming this on their move to the Tasting Room about 6 weeks ago.   Previously the tasting facility was on a property in Jonkershoek, which belongs to Hans-Peter Schröder.  Neil Ellis started making wines in 1986, and his association with Schröder started in 1993, with the establishment of Neil Ellis Wines.   The new tasting venue and cellar is on another Schröder property.   To make his wines, Neil sources grapes from Stellenbosch, Elgin, Darling and Somerset West, and I did learn that he was the first winemaker in South Africa to source grapes from other regions.  Neil’s son Warren is the viticulturist and is following in his dad’s footsteps as a winemaker.

[Pendock Uncorked] Neil Ellis gives a geography lesson | Pendock Uncorked: Among the whites, the Vineyard Selection barrel fermented Sauvignon Blanc 2010 shows that Bartho Eksteen (another rumoured Platter five star laureate) is not the only winemaker to realize that judicious barrel fermentation takes grassy green to the next level. The 2009 Vineyard Selection Pinotage is yet another mould breaker, with soft tannins made with an elegant Pinot Noir respect for fruit, while the 2009 Grenache from the Piekenierskloof .
