Celebrating 25 Years
This year marks a significant milestone in our history: 25 years of crafting world-class Cabernet Sauvignon on the Helderberg’s iconic slopes.

The first vintage of Ernie Els was in 2000. We asked ourselves: what wine do we make? And I sat down with Ernie, put 5 wines in front of him and said you choose nr 1-5. And that day the Ernie Els Signature was born.” – Louis Strydom, Winemaker
The Journey is its own Reward
From a simple dream shared over five glasses of wine to an internationally awarded winery and destination estate, it's been an extraordinary journey.
“Through passion and hard work, we’ve created an award-winning portfolio. Our beautiful winery has also become a go-to destination on our country's celebrated wine map, with a restaurant of outstanding quality. Hats off to everyone on the team; I'm so proud of you all and what you do.” – Ernie Els
The Vision Realised
Along this journey came Proprietor Baron Hans von Staff – a visionary that completed this partnership, that shared the belief that anything is possible with dedication and hard work.
“My goal wasn’t a fancy lifestyle, I like dust on my boots. My goal was a 50-hectare winery producing world-class wines; and I got it!” – Baron Hans von Staff, Proprietor
