Print product information sheet

The Groot Constantia Merlot comes from the historic Groot Constantia winery, one of South Africa’s oldest. In the renowned Constantia wine region of the Western Cape, the influence of the Atlantic Ocean gives rise to elegant and well-balanced wines with a distinctly South African character.

The blend consists primarily of Merlot and is complemented by a small percentage of Petit Verdot. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine ages for 15 months in French oak barrels of varying ages. This aging period ensures a harmonious blend of fruit and subtle oak notes.

On the nose, the Groot Constantia Merlot reveals aromas of ripe cherries, accompanied by subtle hints of anise and a delicate herbal spice. On the palate, the juicy notes of red fruit continue. Fresh acidity and well-integrated tannins give this red wine structure and ensure a balanced and pleasantly long finish.

This South African Merlot pairs excellently with grilled meats, pasta with spicy sauces, lamb dishes, or aged cheeses. It is also a versatile pairing for mushroom dishes and Mediterranean cuisine. Its aromas are best appreciated when served at a temperature of 16 to 18 °C.

Product recommendation

La Bri Merlot
La Bri Merlot
The La Bri Merlot impressively demonstrates the sophistication and depth of this grape variety: an expressive red wine that immediately impresses with its aroma of smoked bacon, violets and ripe mulberries. On the palate, it is juicy and velvety with dark chocolate, finely integrated tannins and a lively structure - a Merlot with charm and class.The wine comes from a selection of the best barrels from three different plots with clay soils. After malolactic fermentation in the barrel, it matured for 22 months in French oak (16% of which was new), predominantly in 300-liter barriques - for complexity, elegance and depth.A feminine, structured Merlot that scores with fine aromatics, depth and a long-lasting finish. Its balance between fruit, spice and texture makes it a real treat for Merlot lovers.The noble Amaryllis belladonna - also known as the "March lily" - adorns the label and stands for grace, beauty and strength. It embodies the personality of this wine: elegant, complex and with an element of surprise.Ideal with braised lamb, mushroom risotto with truffle oil or dark chocolate with sea salt.Recommended drinking temperature: 16-18 °C

The Meerlust Merlot comes from the traditional Meerlust Estate in Stellenbosch - a wine estate that has been synonymous with top South African wines for centuries.

Intense aromas of black plums, dark cherries and fine herbs unfold on the nose, accompanied by hints of mocha, tobacco and subtle spice.
