Deep ruby‑red in the glass, the 92 point 2023 Klein Constantia Estate Red Blend opens with pure cassis and blackberry, underscored by a fine herbaceous note and hints of cigar box. On the palate it delivers bold tannins wrapped around dark fruit, firm structure and a savory finish that lingers.
Serve it alongside grilled rib‑eye with a wild mushroom ragout or aged cheddar and fig jam, this wine stands up to rich flavors with composure.

Each parcel is carefully identified, and blocks are split into multiple portions to harvest at the perfect ripeness. The grapes are then bunch- and berry-sorted to ensure that only the healthiest berries are selected. Malolactic fermentation takes place in 40% new French oak barrels after alcoholic fermentation. The wine is then aged for 15 months before blending and bottling.
