In 2010 a local entrepreneur, Robin von Holdt, founded the Top 100 SA Wines competition to highlight the excellence of South African wines while also providing a reference point for wine lovers across the globe. Groot Constantia has been entering our wines into this competition since its inception. When the SA Top 100 Wine Show started ten years ago the Estate had one wine under the Top 100.
Groot Constantia was positioned as a non-profit company in 1993 to fulfil the very specific role of promoting the South African wine industry and South Africa as a whole. Since then, the Estate has grown in prominence and has leapt forward to fully step into its role over the last five years.
