Deep ruby in colour. Aromas of ripe plum, blackberry, and cherry mingle with notes of cocoa, cedar, and a touch of mint. The palate is plush and rounded, with layers of dark fruit, mocha, and spice, supported by fine tannins and a silky texture. The finish is long, elegant, and subtly earthy, showing the cool-climate finesse of Constantia.
Ideal with roasted duck, lamb chops, beef bourguignon, or mushroom risotto. Pairs beautifully with mature cheeses and rich tomato-based pasta dishes.
Merlot
Constantia, Coastal Region
ABV 14%
Grapes are sourced from the estate’s decomposed granite soils on the slopes of Table Mountain. After hand-harvesting and gentle crushing, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with regular pump-overs for colour and tannin extraction. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in barrel and matures for 14 months in 225-litre French oak barrels, 35% of which are new.
