    BEHIND THE WINE

    Groot Constantia is testimony of Simon van der Stel ’s love for wine who established South Africa’s first wine farm in 1685. Compelling evidence of the success of South Africa’s oldest wine being Emperors and Kings such as Frederick the Great of Prussia and Louis Phillipe (King of France) buying ‘Constantia Wyn’ at auctions across Europe. It is now one of South Africa’s most visited tourist attractions.

    Powerful

    Very strong on the nose, smelling of overripe fruit; you can feel the 14% alcohol. On the palate it is much more balanced, but still a powerful wine, with significant grip, notes of dark fruit, leather, maybe a touch of tobacco, and generally a bit wild. Can tolerate very strong flavours of food. Chargrilled meat? Sure! Salt and vinegar crisps? No problem! Overall, well worth a punt, even for old-world skeptics!
