One of South Africa’s oldest wines, Grand Constance, which is produced by Groot Constantia and which is a brand from the Napoleonic era, continues to rake in the accolades - proudly representing South African wine standards on the world stage.

South Africa is blessed with an abundance of world-class wineries which produce award winning wines – often the best of their kind globally. Many wine estates become synonymous with a particular cultivar, producing much-anticipated vintages of the same wine year after year.
One South African wine estate is bucking this trend of focusing on a niche selection of wines and is producing a diverse range that continues to rake in the awards, both locally and internationally.
Groot Constantia have announced that they are releasing highly limited quantities of the last of their award-winning vintages produced over the past decade. These scarce bottles of top performing wines will only be available from the taste-room on the farm and are premium collection wines for the wine connoisseur.
