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. In the very year Neil Ellis set out as a negociant, his future partner Hans Peter Schroder purchased the Stellenbosch wine estate, Oude Nektar, in the spectacular, viticulturally-ideal Jonkershoek Valley. This coincidence gained fresh resonance some years later when Neil and Hans finally met. Neil, recipient of many accolades since flying solo, had outgrown his leased cellar; Hans, in search of a like-minded partner for a quality-focused winery, had extensive cellar facilities. From this synergy emerged a unique joint venture: Neil Ellis Wines. Neil Ellis Wines differs from most South African wineries in that instead of owning vineyards they have focused on producing the best wine possible and sourcing the grapes from top quality growers. Recognizing that different grape varieties thrive under different soil and climate conditions, from the company's start their philosophy has been to locate those areas that produce a distinctive grape quality and work closely with quality-minded growers in those areas.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2023-12-27T14:12:37-05:00","created_at":"2023-12-25T13:14:31-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_South Africa","Other_Wine","Producer_Neil Ellis","Ramzo2312","Region_Western Cape","Source_WineOnlineDelivery1223","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Red Blend"],"price":9999,"price_min":9999,"price_max":9999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44109498548362,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2018 | Neil Ellis | Stellenbosch The Left Bank Red","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":9999,"weight":5443,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/76_3418dc12-6d0f-4946-ad90-8389bfc4964d.png?v=1703528155"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/76_3418dc12-6d0f-4946-ad90-8389bfc4964d.png?v=1703528155","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2018 | Neil Ellis | Stellenbosch The Left Bank Red at CaskCartel.com","id":25756206006410,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.325,"height":468,"width":152,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/76_3418dc12-6d0f-4946-ad90-8389bfc4964d.png?v=1703528155"},"aspect_ratio":0.325,"height":468,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/76_3418dc12-6d0f-4946-ad90-8389bfc4964d.png?v=1703528155","width":152}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2018 | Neil Ellis | Stellenbosch The Left Bank Red\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore than simply a wine, The Left Bank honors a particular lifestyle.
