Constantia Glen Five

Description

A critically acclaimed, powerful, intense, rich, full-bodied Bordeaux style red wine with blackcurrant, black plum, black cherry and oak inspired notes on the nose and the palate.Pairs well with lamb, beef (especially steak) or good quality strong mature cheese.nConstantia Glen has a unique position cradled between the Constantiaberg and Table Mountain (World Heritage Site) ranges, with predominantly north-east facing slopes. This singular location allows for exposure to late afternoon sun, ideal for the slow ripening that shapes our classically expressed wines. Decomposed granite and Table Mountain sandstone are the dominant soil types that lend minerality and the graceful character to our wines. High water retention of the rich clay sub-soils allows for sustainable dryland cultivation, while ecologically sound practices include biological insect and pest control by means of natural predators.
