JOMO is essentially about being present and okay with where you're at. Take a step back this month to indulge in a little JOMO time. A glass of wine can help speed the process along. #jomo #nomorefomo #relax

Happy Pinotage Day!Today we're celebrating all things juicy. Pinotage, like a local South African rock star, has bold tannins–but that doesn't mean there’s no sweet side thanks to the relatively low acidity. This Pinotage day, why not try our Ernst Gouws and Co. Pinotage

At the moment, our vineyards are in the process of bud break. The dormant buds are turning from hard, small bumps on twig-like branches to soft, pussy willow-esque buds. So pretty! #springtime

Happy National Boss Day! Quick - hurry - if you forgot we have a selection of fine wines available on our online shop. Tell your boss you ordered him something extra special and you're just waiting for it to be delivered. They'll never know! ;)

Happy #WineWednesday dears! This month, with it being #Pinotage month and all, we're showcasing our very own modern example of a South African classic. Our Pinotage is a juicy number that is unashamedly moreish. Expect robust, clean fruit and smooth oak influence.

When it comes to food recommendations, if you're drinking a local grape, why not pair it with some tasty local cuisine like a lekker braai, hot Malay curry or voluptuous meat dishes South Africans so love. #pinotage

If you're looking to get your Christmas shopping out early this year (yes people, it's only 2 months away), then may we suggest exploring our online shop? Check out our website - we deliver!

Is The Joy Of Missing Out The New Self-Care? Yes. In our opinion at least. Instead, stay at home sometimes, wear no makeup, wear your pjs, and indulge in some popcorn and Pinotage. It's literally good for you. #jomo

We say, if you're got it, haunt it. Just kidding. It's only 2 more months until the end of 2018 - if you ask us, that's scary enough! Happy Halloween!

Our focus for this month is to embrace minimalism, be practical and get organised. This is best done for both wine and personal items to be honest. Are you with us? #cleaningouthecloset #andcellar

Following bud break, next comes flowering. This important phase in the grape growing season will determine the number of berries in each grape cluster. With this information, winemakers can anticipate fruit loads and begin to plan for harvest. Hold thumbs for 2019!

Did you know that #SauvignonBlanc has a romantic past? Centuries ago, in some sunny vineyard in France, Sauvignon Blanc vines met up with Cabernet Franc. The two crossed and it was…well…magic: they created Cabernet Sauvignon. #winefacts

Here are a few tips to prepare you for when you enter the wine shop: 1) Pick Your Price: This determines everything! 2) Ask yourself what you are having for dinner, and buy a wine accordingly for an occasion. 3) Variety: Now you can pick your favourite.

Sauvignon Blanc, how we love you so! How do you prefer your Sauvignon Blanc? Made in stainless steel and un-oaked, or barrel-fermented and aged on lees? At Ernst Gouws and Co., we make ours unoaked, giving us that racy acidity and herbaceousness we all know and love.

It's one month until Christmas. Best Christmas gift in our opinion? Ernst Gouws and Co. wine of course! We will even deliver to your door. Why not put together a mixed case and send someone you love something a little extra special? Link in bio.
