WINE DESCRIPTION
Groot Constantia Sauvignon Blanc is a premium white wine produced by Groot Constantia, one of the oldest wine estates in South Africa. The wine is made from grapes grown in the cool climate of the Constantia Valley, which is known for its unique terroir and ideal growing conditions for Sauvignon Blanc. The vineyard features granite soils and a maritime climate, which contribute to the wine's distinctive minerality and crisp acidity. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and cool fermentation to preserve the wine's fresh fruit flavors and aromas. The resulting wine is a classic expression of Sauvignon Blanc, with notes of citrus, green apple, and tropical fruit, and a bright, refreshing finish.
