Grant Newton, the Sales and Marketing Manager for Groot Constantia, the oldest wine farm in South Africa and the only wine estate that is a member of the Big 7 Tourist attractions in Cape Town, has been elected onto the board of Cape Town Tourism.
Do you actively seek out eco-friendly wine farms? Is wine making a sustainable practice? I spent an afternoon with Floricius Beukes, Viticulturist and Estate Manager at Groot Constantia to learn more.
Think organic composting, canopy management and ladybug as a pest control! Till this day, Groot Constantia maintain the tradition to prune by hand to ensure the quality of their signature wines.
Platter's South African Wine Guide has awarded Groot Constantia’s Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 the highest honour of five stars (classified as exceptional bottling) in the 35th edition of this popular guide – annually one of the most eagerly anticipated listings of top-performing wines.
