2019 Groot Constantia Gouverneurs Reserve - 750ml
The selected grapes were harvested once they had reached the desired maturity levels and were picked at 24 to 25° Balling. The grapes were treated delicately in the cellar, and during the first half of fermentation, the wine was pumped over four times per day to oxygenate it. Post-fermentation extended maceration lasted approximately four weeks. The wine was matured for 14 months in 225-litre French oak barrels, of which 73% were new, 9% second fill, and 18% third fill.
Groot Constantia’s flagship red shows beautiful complexity on the nose. It has ripe, rich flavours of blackcurrant, dark chocolate, and graphite, enriched by notes of cinnamon and cedar wood from the generous use of new oak. The black fruit and sweet spice follow through to the palate, and the firm structure promises excellent ageing potential.
