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 2020 Lady of Abundance is a layered blend with a lovely complexity. It opens with aromas of ripe black fruits, complemented by notes of mocha chocolate, vanilla, and subtle wood spice. The palate mirrors these flavors, with rich black fruit and chocolate enveloping fine tannins. The wine has a smooth texture and a long finish.
Food Pairing
This wine pairs wonderfully with red meat dishes, especially those with rich sauces, as well as hard cheeses. It can also complement game dishes like venison.
