The 2020 Groot Constantia Grand Constance is a captivating South African sweet wine made from Muscat de Frontignan, with a splash of red muscat lending its striking amber hue. The nose bursts with intense aromas of orange zest, dried apricot, and ripe mango, layered with subtle oak spice.
On the palate, it’s luxuriously sweet yet beautifully balanced by natural acidity, delivering a creamy, elegant finish. A historic dessert wine with a modern edge, perfect for collectors and those seeking a truly unique tasting experience.
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.
