Once poured, its radiant amber hue—thanks to a touch of red Muscat—immediately captures the eye. The nose is intensely aromatic, with layers of orange zest, dried apricot, ripe mango, and whispers of oak spice. On the palate, expect a luxuriously creamy sweetness, beautifully lifted by vibrant natural acidity. Groot Constantia's Grand Constance 2021 is a historic dessert wine of remarkable balance and elegance, perfect for gifting, cellaring, or indulgent sipping.
Crafted from southeast-facing vines on sandstone and decomposed granite soils, these naturally desiccated Muscat berries are hand-harvested mid-April. After skin fermentation and gentle pressing, the wine completes fermentation in old barrels to achieve perfect sweetness. Aged for 24 months in barrel, Grand Constance captures the soul of our cool-climate terroir.
