Making it the second listing for Groot Constantia at Dubai Airport, the Constantia Rood – a red blend of 30% Cabernet Franc, 30% Merlot, 29% Shiraz, 7% Pinotage, 3% Petit Verdot and 1% Pinot Noir, was launched in February, joining the Blanc de Noir which can already be found on the shelf in the airport shops.
The Constantia Rood is blended to create a complex bouquet of flavours, ranging from liquorice and fynbos to chocolate and blackcurrant, framed by the careful use of oak barrels. The flavours follow on the palate and the velvety tannins gives the wine an elegant finish.
A great wine to accompany Lamb braised with Flageolets and Rosemary, Garlic and Rosemary stuffed Pork Roast or Diced Steak Curry with Coconut and Ginger.
