Groot Constantia
In 1679 Simon van der Stel was appointed by the Dutch East India Company to govern the Cape of Good Hope. After years of loyal service he requested land from the Company. He periodically sent out riders to collect soil samples. In 1685 he chose 891 morgen (about 763 ha) situated behind Table Mountain for its wine-growing potential and magnificent scenery. Over the years the wines produced on the estate caught the attention of influential people across the globe – clearly due to its impressive quality. Global aristocracy made sure that they had enough stock of this acclaimed and precious product. Our founder named his farm Constantia after the Latin word for constancy or steadfastness. These attributes he valued greatly and today we follow in his footsteps to uphold his enduring legacy of perfection at Groot Constantia.
Description
The 2022 vintage of Groot Constantia Cabernet Sauvignon presents a rich bouquet of black cherries, cassis, and graphite, complemented by subtle cedar undertones. On the palate, these flavors persist, delivering a full-bodied experience with robust tannins and a well-balanced acidity, culminating in a harmonious and enduring finish.
Food Pairing
This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs excellently with hearty dishes. Recommended accompaniments include thin slices of rare roast sirloin in a red wine sauce or a traditional beef espetada. Additionally, its structure and depth make it a suitable match for blue cheese burgers, rosemary-braised lamb shanks, and filet mignon with a rich balsamic glaze.
