Tasting Note

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.

Product Notes

Groot Constantia Gouverneurs Reserve is a stunning red wine that originates from South Africa's oldest wine-producing estate. This wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot grapes, creating a complex and flavorful tasting experience. It boasts an intense, deep ruby color, and aromas of dark fruit, chocolate, and tobacco. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rich with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, and a hint of coffee, leading to a long and satisfying finish. The name "Gouverneurs Reserve" honors the visiting dignitaries and governors of the Dutch East India Company who once enjoyed the estate's wine. This wine is perfect for those who appreciate a full-bodied red with a hint of history and tradition.

The history of the oldest wine brand of South Africa dates back to as early as 1685, when the Groot Constantia grounds were first given to the Governor of the Cape of Good Hope. In the years after that, the ownership of these vineyards kept changing.
