From pleasing the palate of a tactical genius to quaffing in a time of change – follow the wine journey of Napoleon and Frederic the Great of Prussia and Groot Constantia’s Hendrik Cloete.  As one of the premier songwriters of the rock era, Robbie Robertson, said: “You don’t stumble upon your heritage.  It’s there, just waiting to be explored and shared.”

Groot Constantia’s Pinotage 2013 received a well-deserved trophy at this year’s Absa Top 10 Pinotage Awards beating competition from a total of 154 wines entered.  The Absa Top 10 Pinotage Awards is one of South Africa’s premier wine industry contests, currently in its 19th consecutive year running.  The 2015 awards ceremony was held at the KWV in Paarl on 28 August.
