Groot Constantia<br />
In 1685, the birth of the <strong>South</strong> <strong>Africa</strong>n wine<br />
industry began in the verdant Constantia<br />
Valley. Groot Constantia, developed by<br />
Simon van der Stel in 1685, is the oldest<br />
wine producing farm in the New World,<br />
boasting a proud heritage of over 327 years<br />
– this makes Groot Constantia’s trademark<br />
one of the oldest surviving trademarks in<br />
the world today. Groot Constantia is one<br />
of the original five participants at the first<br />
Nederburg Auction in 1975. Since then, it<br />
has had an uninterrupted record as a wine<br />
farm and its name is forever linked to the<br />
most famous wines that were first made<br />
in <strong>South</strong> <strong>Africa</strong>.<br />

The Constantia Valley has a wonderful cool<br />
climate for producing Pinotage. This wine<br />
has loads of Pinot Noir character – red berry<br />
flavours, strawberries and red cherries, with<br />
a slight earthy character. Smooth texture and<br />
well-rounded wood integration. The wine is<br />
drinkable now and can still keep for a number<br />
of years.<br />

picked at 24 degrees Balling and treated<br />
with special care in the cellar. Matured for<br />

barrels. This wine is a lovely rich plum colour<br />
with an array of fruit aromas, with layers of<br />
blackcurrants, cherries and hints of cigar box.<br />
To preserve the fine quality and complexity,<br />
this wine has not been stabilised or filtered.<br />
It has great maturation potential.
