Constantia Royale Dons Reserve 2022
Constantia Royale Dons Reserve 2022
The Sauvignon Blanc comes from a small portion of our only East facing block, grown in decomposed granite and clay soil, which produces a linear style of wine tasting primarily of black currant leaf, elderflower and grapefruit. The Semillon, grown on rich shale soils and left till late in the season to maximise the ripeness, adds a rich mouthfeel to the wine, and flavours of white peach.
