Groot Constantia se 2013 Chardonnay het 'n eerste trofee ingepalm by die onlangse Taj Klassieke Wyntrofee toekennings gehou by die Taj Hotel in Kaapstad van 3 tot 7 Maart 2014.

Die enigste manier om Groot Constantia te “voel” is om dit te ervaar – daar is ‘n ryke geskiedenis, ‘n pragtige ligging, vriendelike mense, herinneringe wat gemaak moet word, pret wat wag en, natuurlik, wyn wat waardeer en geniet moet word.
"Our worth" says the Estate’s General Manager, Jean Naude, "is our tradition. The quality of every wine must be guaranteed. That’s the essence on which a brand like this stands. If we produced a mediocre bottle it would amount to an abuse, a waste, of the 326 years of history that have gone into producing this brand."
The Constantia Valley farms Sports Day was enjoyed by all.
