The 2020 vintage of Groot Constantia Gouverneurs Reserve Red exhibits a deep ruby hue. On the nose, it reveals ripe, rich aromas of blackcurrant, dark chocolate, and graphite, complemented by hints of cinnamon and cedar wood from the generous use of new oak. These flavors continue onto the palate, delivering a full-bodied experience with firm yet fine tannins, promising excellent ageing potential.

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.
