Description

Groot Constantia Grand Constance 2018

A long ripening period ensured that the sweet berries had adequate sunlight to produce the golden nectar. Grapes were fermented on the skins for about 1 week then pressed. After fermentation the wines were racked and put back into barrels to mature for another 24 months.

Deep straw, nearly amber colour. This legendary sweet wine shows honey, apricot, pineapple and Turkish delight on the nose. The sweet dried fruit follows on the palate. The natural acidity balances the sweetness of the wine, leaving a very moreish finish.

For a perfect complement to your final dish, serve slightly chilled (between 12°C and 14°C). Let your dish be your guide: Pair with chocolate, dried fruits, nuts and a wide variety of both hard and soft cheese, great with fruit-based puddings such as lemon tart, pavlova and fruit-topped cheesecakes.

Housed in an exquisite wooden box and with this unique history, this is a perfect wine for gifting.
