There are very few brands that can attest to being over three centuries old and yet to be moving from strength to strength. Groot Constantia is one of them, and as South Africa’s oldest wine farm (332 years old this year) is also one of the oldest brands in the world which has reached iconic status – something which was verified in the winning of the SA Wine Icon category in the recent Klink Awards.
Groot Constantia has launched a unique Visitors Route Experience which follows a specially designed circular route that allows guests to experience each of the estate’s key attractions.
Platter's South African Wine Guide, annually one of the most eagerly anticipated listings of top-performing wines, has awarded Groot Constantia’s 2015 Chardonnay and 2013 Gouverneurs Reserve Red with the highest possible accolade of 5 stars.
