Ripe rich flavours of blackcurrant with hints of chocolate mint and green pepper enveloped in a restrained elegant style. Very fine Bordeaux blend from this historic estate in South Africa.
- Groot Constantia’s flagship red shows beautiful complexity on the nose, with ripe, rich flavours of blackcurrant, blueberries and graphite, supported by hints of vanilla and cinnamon. The black fruit and sweet spice follow through to the palate and the firm structure promises excellent ageing potential.
