Production Notes
Grapes are sourced from the estate’s decomposed granite soils on the slopes of Table Mountain. After hand-harvesting and gentle crushing, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with regular pump-overs for colour and tannin extraction. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in barrel and matures for 14 months in 225-litre French oak barrels, 35% of which are new.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in colour. Aromas of ripe plum, blackberry, and cherry mingle with notes of cocoa, cedar, and a touch of mint. The palate is plush and rounded, with layers of dark fruit, mocha, and spice, supported by fine tannins and a silky texture. The finish is long, elegant, and subtly earthy, showing the cool-climate finesse of Constantia.
Food Pairings
Ideal with roasted duck, lamb chops, beef bourguignon, or mushroom risotto. Pairs beautifully with mature cheeses and rich tomato-based pasta dishes.

The History of Chiswick Wines
Chiswick Wine — A Neighbourhood Wine Venture with Heart
Born from the passion of two wine enthusiasts, Chiswick Wine is more than just a bottle shop. It is the result of five years of dreaming, planning, and sourcing with purpose. Our founders left their careers to create something that would bring people together, support sustainability, and celebrate the beauty of honest wine making.
Every detail of Finchley Wine reflects that vision. The space is thoughtfully designed with an organic, natural aesthetic and shelves filled with handpicked bottles from producers who care for their land as much as their craft. We call it wine design, a blend of taste, community, and creativity that turns every visit into an experience.
At Chiswick Wine, you will find not only distinctive wines but also a welcoming space built on connection, sustainability, and local spirit.
