Product information "Constantia Glen Two 2023"
The Constantia Glen Two flows into the glass in a seductive soft gold with a subtle hint of fresh lime green, exuding elegant herbaceous aromas as well as inviting hints of grapefruit, green fig and floral nuances of white elderflower and herbs. After these initial aromas, a complex spectrum of tangy citrus aromas pampers the senses. Its polished weight, which comes from the Sémillon, is wonderfully balanced by a naturally fresh acidity and an incredibly clear fruit. The wine has a dynamic intensity and an excellent fruit concentration. With a full-bodied and opulent character, combined with a well-textured mouthfeel, this white wine cuvée certainly leaves nothing to be desired. Its finesse and elegant balance are convincing.

The grapes for this Bordeaux-style wooden white wine cuvée were harvested by hand from the farm's best vineyards, pressed all over the bunch and fermented in 600-litre barrels. Once fermentation was complete, the wine matured for 7 months on the lees in 600 l French oak barrels, 17% of which were new wood. The remaining part of oak barrels was already second to seventh filled. The careful selection of the best barrels produced a wine of incredible fruit concentration and only subtle and subtle hints of oak wood.
