Groot Constantia
Groot Constantia sits in the Constantia valley, a cool-climate pocket of the Cape Town coastline in South Africa's Western Cape. The winery produces Pinot Noir and Shiraz that have drawn attention from Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, and Falstaff. The Pinot Noir Landgoedwyn expresses the elegance typical of the variety in maritime conditions, while the Cape Winemakers Guild Shiraz and the estate Shiraz showcase the darker fruit and structure that Syrah develops in this region's moderate temperatures and Atlantic influence. The vineyard's position on the southern slopes of the Constantia mountains provides the cool nights and morning mists that define the area's character.
