Groot Constantia is the oldest wine-producing farm in South Africa — continuously producing legendary wine since 1685. Groot Constantia is an important part of World Wine Heritage, a provincial heritage site and an international tourism attraction, located only 20 minutes outside Cape Town City Centre.
As a World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Conservation Champion, Groot Constantia maintains efforts to safeguard the environment for future generations.
The Estate’s wine-making team continues to win awards around the globe. One such award-winning wine is Lady of Abundance.
Lady of Abundance is a firm favourite among red wine enthusiasts worldwide, epitomising the Estate’s creativity. Essentially, it is a bottled celebration and depiction of each year’s abundant harvest at Groot Constantia.
Inspired by the Lady of Abundance statue on the Groot Constantia Manor House gable, this wine pays homage to the abundance of the Estate’s diverse terroir.
Lady of Abundance is a complex, premium red blend that is intensely rich in flavour and its fine tannins promise good ageing potential.
This Groot Constantia wine is available on the Estate, in certain restaurants, selected liquor stores, and major retailers.
