The Constantia Glen FIVE 2022 is a classic Bordeaux-style blend. It is meticulously crafted from five traditional varieties. The blend includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec. Furthermore, this wine is a testament to the unique terroir of the Constantia Valley. Here, the cool, maritime climate allows for slow, optimal ripening.
A Captivating Tasting Experience
The bouquet is complex and layered. It reveals pronounced aromas of Morello cherries, ripe blackcurrant, and plums. Then, these vibrant fruit notes are beautifully elevated by a delicate fragrance of violets, dried herbs, and sophisticated savoury notes. You will also discover tobacco pouch, cedar, and graphite. The palate is rich and concentrated. It showcases a harmony of bold dark fruit flavours and the inherent freshness of this cool vintage. Fine-grained tannins provide a mouth-coating texture and a persistent, elegant finish. Thus, this is a wine of exceptional structure and finesse. It is tightly wound in its youth but has incredible potential for a long and graceful evolution.
Vintage and Aging Potential
The 2022 vintage had a cool growing season. This has delivered elegant and refined wines with fantastic richness and concentration. While delicious to drink now, the Constantia Glen FIVE 2022 is built to last. With correct cellaring, it will continue to develop admirably for 10 to 15 years from harvest.
Perfect Food Pairings
