About this Item
"It takes years to build a Legacy. Even Decades. Or sometimes Centuries.
Groot Constantia’s is testimony of how one man’s love for wine established South Africa’s first wine farm in 1685.
Our wines are from rich African soil, crafted to perfection. Groot Constantia memories are part of literature and heritage and embodies the timeless endeavour to perfection.
Our heritage stands for growth, life and beauty. It is alive and vibrant, like the vineyards we hold dear. It is in our hearts. -
It’s our Legacy."
