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."

Critics Ratings
‘Oak (35% new) dominates nose of 2017, bringing vanilla, toast and popcorn notes before ripe yellow fruit asserts - baked stonefruit, pineapple and pear. Lingering finish suggests plenty more to come, so keep it if you can.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2019, 4.5* (92/100)
‘Barrel-fermented with around 50% malolactic, this is a well made if slightly old-fashioned style of Chardonnay showing honey, vanilla and butterscotch notes, some toast and brisk, balancing acidity.’ - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2018, 92/100
