Tasting Note

The warm ripening conditions of the 2016 bring out the riper side of this grape variety. Savoury notes are supported by liquorice and black pepper, as well as ripe plums and a hint of smoke. The wine shows beautiful intensity on the palate. The natural acidity adds freshness to the wine, and tannins are soft and approachable.

Product Notes

Groot Constantia Shiraz is a luxurious and sophisticated red wine that entices the senses with its complexity and depth. This wine is produced in the oldest wine estate of South Africa, Groot Constantia, and is made from the Shiraz grape variety. It is a deep ruby red with purple hues, offering aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and spicy pepper notes. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with velvety tannins. Flavors of dark fruit, vanilla, and oak spice combine to give a smooth and long finish. This exquisite wine pairs well with red meat dishes, game, and hard cheese.
