The cool ripening conditions of 2017 resulted in layers of complexity. The 2017 Shiraz shows white pepper, coriander and liquorice on the nose, while time in the glass unveils the savoury side of the wine. The spicy flavours are supported by subtle use of oak on the palate and is completed by a fine tannin structure.

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.
