Constantia Glen THREE

A classic Constantia blend of the three most revered Bordeaux varieties – Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. A cool maritime climate and strict crop control results in perfectly ripened grapes that are hand harvested, meticulously sorted and batch vinified. Constantia Glen THREE is Full-bodied with a juicy texture, this wine has a long, soft finish making it extremely refined with excellent aging potential, yet also very approachable at this early stage of development. Colour: Youthful in colour with a dark, deep red core unwinding into a bright and lively garnet rim. Nose: The nose of this wine has great expression with forthcoming red and black fruit aromas. Following these initial ripe fruit aromas, there is a complex collection of savoury notes woven with lingering flavours of tomato leaf, blackcurrant, and cedar. Palate: The palate shows great intensity and complexity of flavours with the dark fruit and distinct savoury notes on the nose following flawlessly onto that first sip. The fine-grain, elegant and velvety tannins really compliment the richness of the wine and promise great aging potential if stored under correct cellar conditions. This full-bodied blend has an earthy minerality and an inherent freshness that brings about a lingering, well-defined finish. Platter Wine Guide 2023, 4½ Stars Bottle size: 750ml Alc: 14,5%
