Constantia Glen THREE 2013

The savoury flavours illustrated on the nose follow flawlessly onto that first sip, where elegant, velvety tannins grip the palate in a vibrant intensity of flavour. This incredible richness and concentration of fine grain tannin is further echoed by an earthy minerality and the wine’s fresh, natural acidity that brings about a long, well-defined finish. This fullbodied blend has great potential to well withstand the test of time and remain true to its terroir for at least another decade if stored under correct cellar conditions.

Slow roasted shoulder of lamb with rosemary infused roasted vegetables and tomato jam, on a bed of buttered polenta. Crostini of thinly sliced prosciutto, cream cheese and rocket.
