Constantia Glen | TWO | 2021
If you’re looking for an elegant, award-winning Bordeaux style white, look no further. A rich and concentrated blend of Sauvignon Blanc with 33% Sémillon, this barrel fermented wine (with 10% in clay amphora) combines oak and tropical fruit flavours with a well-integrated minerality. A wine of freshness, balance and length with exceptional aging potential
Nose & Palate
Grapefruit, lime and white blossom with floral notes delineating towards elderflower and fresh herbs. This follows onto the palate with incredible freshness, fruit concentration, remarkable acidity and crystalline structure that is beautifully balanced by a mouth-coating creamy texture on the palate.
Pairing
Lightly seared green asparagus and buffalo mozzarella wrapped in prosciutto. Char Siu pork belly with citrus spice and fresh coriander.
About the Winery
A family run business located in the region where South African winemaking began back in 1685, Constantia Glen operates a 60 hectare farm cradled between the Contantiaberg and Table Mountain ranges. Situated at an altitude of 130 – 270 metres above sea level on predominantly north-east facing slopes allows for exposure to late afternoon sun, ideal for the slow ripening that shapes their classically expressed wines.
Constantia Glen produce two white and two red Bordeaux style award-winning wines and they like to keep things simple. Their bottles; Sauvignon Blanc, TWO, THREE and FIVE are simply named after the number of varietals in each bottle.
