Neil Ellis
Stellenbosch | South Africa
In 1986 Neil Ellis took a calculated leap of
faith into the winenegociant arena, buying and vinifying grapes from
selected vineyards and marketing these hand-reared wines under his
own label. Mindful that exceptional terroir and assiduous vineyard
cultivation form the bedrock of great wine, Neil forged long-term
supply partnerships with top grape-growers in premium areas. Today
the same philosophy—sourcing superior grapes from low-yielding,
hand-selected vineyard lots in the Cape’s top terroirs—remains the
mainstay of the Neil Ellis wines.
