Beau Constantia Lucca

Spicy and floral of wild rosemary and Fynbos, this wine is a true sensory reflection of vines growing surrounded by the magnificent Cape Floral Kingdom. It has lovely cool climate elegance and minerality.

The 2021 vintage at first seems to exist on the more herbaceous spectrum of the Cape’s attempt at taming Bordeaux varieties, but finds beautiful balance between complexity and restraint when a single swirl let’s go of the green herbs and brings to the forefront cassis and redcurrant. True to its site, the succulent red fruit concentration is enriched by sculpted tannins and a fantastic salinity that brings about freshness and a well refined texture.

The finish at this young age still being tart, thanks to its timeless terroir in the cool-climate Constantia.
