2018 Shiraz, Groot Constantia

Western Cape, South Africa

“The Cape Spice”

Deep ruby with purple glints, this Shiraz opens with aromas of blackberry, mulberry and dark cherry, layered with black pepper, clove and a hint of fynbos. The palate is plush yet precise with ripe fruit carried by fine tannins, savoury spice and a subtle smoky edge. Medium to full-bodied, it finishes long, balanced and beautifully fresh.

For when: the fire’s glowing and the conversation’s lively.
Pairs with: grilled lamb chops, pepper steak or aubergine with harissa.
If this wine were a song, it’d be smooth jazz with a spicy riff.

Groot Constantia is South Africa’s oldest wine estate, established in 1685 and famed for its historic role in shaping the Cape’s wine heritage. Today, it continues to craft wines that balance tradition with modern precision, with Shiraz thriving in the cool, ocean-influenced Constantia Valley.

Groot Constantia is South Africa’s oldest estate and one of South Africa’s most visited tourist attractions. In 1685 Cape Governor Simon van der Stel built a farm in the foothills of Table Mountain, which he named Constantia. Groot Constantia received world acclaim from Napoleon, Bismarck and King Louis Philippe of France who was the biggest single buyer of Groot Constantia wines. They had to sell to the Cape government after phylloxera ravaged the vineyards. Now, the total estate covers 165 hectares of which 87 hectares are planted, at an altitude of 60 to 280 metres above sea level. The climate is generally cool resulting in complex and balanced wines.
