Crafted with care in South Africa’s oldest wine estate, this red blend from Groot Constantia offers a refined expression of Constantia’s coastal terroir. Layers of blackcurrant, ripe plum, and cassis meet subtle notes of cedar, graphite, and spice, framed by elegant oak integration and fine tannins. The structure is both powerful and polished, with a long, lingering finish and impressive ageability. A benchmark Bordeaux-style blend, the 2021 vintage showcases balance, depth, and old-world charm with a South African soul.

Crafted from handpicked grapes grown in a cool, dry vintage, this Cap Classique was fermented in stainless steel to preserve freshness, then aged for 16 months on the lees to develop elegant red berry notes and fine bubbles. After disgorgement, a careful dosage was added for perfect balance. Every step honors the fruit and the tradition of méthode champenoise.
