    Luxurious and balanced.One of the world’s most prestigious sweet wine!

    The Groot Constantia Grand Constance is a legendary sweet wine made from Muscat de Frontignan. White Muscat is complemented with a small percentage of red Muscat, giving this dessert wine a beautiful amber colour. The nose is intensely aromatic, with orange zest, dried apricot, ripe mango, and gentle oak spice rising from the glass. On the palate, the sweetness is creamy and luxurious, but it is lifted by vibrant natural acidity that keeps the wine poised rather than heavy. The finish is long, layered, and persistent.

    STORY BEHIND THE WINE

    An irreplaceable icon of global wine history, Grand Constance is South Africa’s oldest wine, crafted at the 330-year-old Groot Constantia estate. Revered across European royal courts in the 18th and 19th centuries, this famed sweet wine commanded extraordinary auction prices alongside Yquem and Tokay, while winning over historic figures like Frederick the Great and King Louis Philippe.

    Immortalised in literature by Jane Austen and Charles Dickens, Grand Constance famously served as Napoleon Bonaparte’s wine of choice during his exile on Saint Helena. Today, it stands as one of the world’s most prestigious, highly collectible sweet wines.
