2011 Constantia Glen Two, Sauvignon Blanc/ Semillon, S. Africa

2011 was another fantastic year for Constantia Glen white wines. With the long, cool growing season the grapes achieved optimal flavour ripeness whilst still retaining good acidity and minerality.? The 2011 Constantia Glen Two comprises 40% S?millon and 60% Sauvignon Blanc grapes. On the nose, it offers uplifting aromas of oak lactones from barrel fermentation backed up by grapefruit and elderberry. The wine also has ripe tropical aromas of stone fruit and papaya.

On the palate, it has a vibrant intensity and remarkable fruit concentration. It is opulent and sumptuous whilst retaining great elegance and finesse, as result of a poised acidity and well-defined minerality. The S?millon contributes largely to weighty texture, and the mouth-coating richness is accentuated by the maturation of the wine on the lees in barrel for 6 months after fermentation. This is a classic Constantia wine that has outstanding ageing potential and will integrate beautifully for 5 to 10 years from harvest.Constantia Glen
