mehrere Informationen

The Groot Constantia Governors Reserve White is a highly prized world-class top cuvée! Only 4000 bottles were produced of this gem of South African wine craftsmanship. The bouquet presents a fresh, lively and subtly herbaceous profile with fruit-driven aromas of ripe peaches and exotic lychee and slightly waxy hints. Peach and lychee also indulge on the palate with subtle spice from French oak and light waxy touches. The balanced acid play provides clear and clean freshness on the palate and ends in a long-lasting and masterful finish. This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were hand-picked and fermented separately in a combination of 50% new barrels, 25% second-fill and 25% third- and fourth-fill French oak barrels. Upon completion of alcoholic fermentation, the wine was aged on its lees for 10 months before blending and bottling. Before release, this first-class drop matured another 12 months in the bottle.
