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 vintage of Groot Constantia Pinotage exhibits an intense ruby red color. On the nose, it reveals ripe red fruit aromas such as sweet strawberries and raspberries, combined with black cherries and plums. The delicate use of new oak adds a hint of cacao. These bold, ripe fruit flavors follow through on the palate, supported by a fine tannin structure that ensures a long, elegant finish.
Food Pairing
This Pinotage pairs excellently with marinated meats that are smoked or made on the ‘braai’/barbecue, as well as with tomato-based dishes.
