Constantia Glen TWO 2016

This vintage of the Constantia Glen TWO shows incredible intensity, fruit concentration and depth, but remains poised and elegant. The wine has a bright acidity that is perfectly balanced a mouth-coating texture on the palate, brought about by maturation in 600 litre barrels. The 30% Sémillon adds weight and richness to balance the fresh natural acidity of the Sauvignon blanc making this a truly harmonious blend with an intriguing saline quality that lingers well onto your next sip.

Char Siu pork belly with citrus spice and fresh coriander. Thai-style duck breast salad with lime juice and toasted pine nuts. Oak-smoked trout ribbons with dill & lemon crème fraiche and a cucumber pickle. Salmon tartare.
