The most famous wine culture in the West is TIPS winery GRAND CONSTANCE (Konstantz the Great) It is said that he has won countless awards. I think Napoleon loved it at the beginning. I drank as many bottles every day until I died.
The Grand Constancia is a very historic wine estate in South Africa. The climate is very similar to South France, so it can grow very good grape varieties and also make world-class wines. The wine tannins here are very thick, the aftertaste is also very sweet, absolutely the best in the wine, it is worth tasting and buying.
The vineyard is located at the south foot of Table Mountain, facing Fowles Bay. It has abundant sunshine and abundant rainfall. It is a geomantic treasure land for making good wine. It is said that it was the French who brought wine-making technology to South Africa. There are five wine packages, two white wines and three red wines. The second and fifth cups are the Governor's collection standard. Don't be greedy for cups, just taste them.
It was almost like the wine estate I had imagined, the sky was blue, the trees were green below, and the vines were fruiting. However, the fruit here is not too sweet, the wine has a small grain and sour feeling, the overall is very comfortable, really suitable for moving a lounge chair out to bask in the sun, you can also drink a drink in the manor, the price is not too expensive.
