Wine Description:
This delectable blend, meticulously crafted from estate-grown grapes, marries Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon. It matured for 17 months in French oak barrels (30% new, 50% second-fill, and 20% third-fill) without fining but with a light filtration to soften its robust tannin structure. This wine showcases the renowned structure and freshness of Constantia Glen THREE while boasting impressive concentration. It's delightful for immediate enjoyment, yet promises excellent aging potential of 10-12 years when stored correctly. This wine embodies the signature Constantia Glen quality that wine enthusiasts cherish.

The flavors of blackcurrant, plum, and black cherry are complemented by notes of vanilla, spice, and a touch of earthiness.
