Constantia Uitsig Constantia White 2003

John Platter 2006 - 4 Stars
Born from a perfect integration of the two star cultivars on Constantia Uitsig, the Bordeaux Style Semillon-Sauvignon Blanc blend shows complexity in elegant lanolin notes, whiffs of vanilla and reticent tropical fruit. This wine was created to complement and complete the culinary experience at Constantia Uitsig, and was made in limited quantities.
