Beau Constantia
A mere 20 minutes from Cape Town City’s center lies Beau Constantia, a well-curated escarp of rolling vineyards, floating concrete, and rocky mountainside. In a shy kloof, steep North East facing slopes summit the Vlakkenberg, from where both the Indian and the Atlantic oceans become visible. From the outset, the unique site called for a masterful eye and design approach that respects its terroir – a wine term that refers to a place’s character.
Description
On the nose, some youthful cherry-cola and underripe plum grows into smoky, figgy and intense raspberry aromas, with subtle wood spices, undertones of cured meat and fynbos. On the palate: Grippy tannins and a refreshing acidity.
Food Pairing
Enjoy with simple Ostrich Carpaccio covered in all kinds of Umami - try truffle, pecorino, honey or/and Dijon mustard with good quality, local, Olive oil.
