The 2021 Groot Constantia Gouverneur’s Reserve is a bold, cellar-worthy South African red blend crafted with elegance and depth. Aromas of ripe plum, blueberry, and dark chocolate lead into layers of cedarwood and tobacco from finely integrated French oak.
The palate mirrors the nose with generous fruit and savory spice, framed by velvety, ripe tannins. As the estate’s flagship red, this wine captures the heritage and finesse of Constantia, perfect for collectors and lovers of refined red blends seeking character and age-worthy structure.

Vineyards are trained on vertical shoot position trellis systems. Vineyard tasks like pruning, canopy management, and harvesting are done by hand. Pest control is done biologically, and soil health and weed control are managed by a selected mix of winter cover crops.
