Constantia Glen FIVE

Constantia Glen FIVE, the flagship of the winery, surpasses even the uppermost of expectations.

This Bordeaux-style blend is violet-edged with a dense crimson core. The nose expresses rich spice, cassis and black cherry aromas at first and continues to develop in the glass. These dark fruit aromas continue onto the palate where they are supported by a lovely texture, created by the lingering, soft tannins. Overall, the wine is rich and shows great concentration.

Colour: Youthful in colour with a very dark ruby core unwinding into a bright and lively magenta rim.

Nose: The first impression is one of dark fruit aromas of Morello cherries, ripe blackcurrant and juicy black plums underpinned by a fragrance of dried herbs. Savoury background notes of cocoa, cedar, and graphite demand further exploration. Floral aromas start emerging from the glass and the bouquet concludes with apparent notes of dried violet flowers, cassis, and wild fynbos.

Palate: The palate is rich and concentrated with the dark fruit flavours that were evident on the nose, but the mid-palate displays fantastic balance and finesse. This exceptionally cool vintage has delivered a wine that is perhaps more elegant than its couple of predecessors, but it remains a compellingly structured wine with excellent freshness and depth. The delicious, fine-grain tannins provide mouth-coating texture and excellent length. The wine comes across as tightly wound in its youth with incredible ageing potential. The typical Constantia freshness provides for a long, delicious finish that will have you beckoning for another sip.
