Description
A classic Constantia blend of the three most revered Bordeaux varieties – 54% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon and 18% Cabernet Franc.
Beautiful concentration of dark fruit aromas on the nose with pronounced blackcurrant and ripe plum is complemented by a subtle touch of dried herbs and a hint of spice. There is a lovely savory complexity beyond the initial ripe fruit with lingering notes of white pepper, graphite, and cedar. The wine is rich and textured, with elegant, velvety, fine-grain tannins that grip the palate in a vibrant intensity of flavour. This wine is poised, elegant and with it’s inherent freshness, brings about a long, well-defined finish.
While this wine comes across as tightly wound in its youth, it holds significant ageing potential.
Serve at 16-18 Deg.
Pair with traditional Austrian Goulash made with beef, paprika, onions and served with Spatzle.
