Groot Constantia CWG Reserve White 2010
Semillon 67%; Sauvignon Blanc 33% Both the Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes were hand picked, fermented and matured separately in 500 litre and 225 litre French oak barrels on lees for 9 months with a stirring of the lees once a month. 100% French oak was used with 33% 1st fill barrels, 33% 2nd fill barrels and 33% 4th fill barrels. To preserve the fine quality and complexity, this wine was subjected to minimum stabilisation and filtration. Tasting note: The wine has a pale straw colour with a lime tint. It shows delicate orange blossom, gooseberry and almond flavours on the nose. The wine opens up in the glass to show green pepper, summer fruit and minerality. The flavours follow through on the palate and have a rich, creamy texture.
