BEST in Constantia, one of the Top 10 in South Africa. Groot Constantia Chardonnay is one of the three most successful wines from the grandest estate on the Cape Peninsula, among the country’s Top 100 Wines Overall and in the Top Wine SA Hall of Fame.

Last year the 2017 vintage was a star at the National Wine Challenge and considered Outstanding by the local Winemag panel. This year it was one of the Top 10 gold medallists at Chardonnay du Monde in Burgundy, France.

One of the best places to enjoy this beauty? Under the umbrellas on the lawns outside the Jonkershuis restaurant at Groot Constantia. Or maybe at your next barbeque, perhaps with braaied fish, or roast chicken.
