Winemaker Notes
Deep ruby in appearance, with intense aromas of sweet red fruit with subtle notes of peppery spice and vanilla. The palate is incredibly fruit-driven, with well-integrated oak; the rich and powerful tannin structure creates a great balance between fruit and intensity.
Blend – 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Malbec, 3% Petit Verdot

We strive to produce wines of high quality that express elements of elegance, minerality and balance.
As a WWF Conservation Champion our vision is aligned with that of the World Wildlife Fund as we aim to unite conservation and agricultural development in a complementary, mutually beneficial manner. We continually strive to produce wines in more environmentally responsible and biodynamic ways.
Our wine range includes a top quality Estate range, a second label KC range, and our flagship revival of the famous Constantia sweet wine, Vin de Constance.
