Constantia Glen’s 2022 THREE is a polished Cape Bordeaux blend with all the cool-climate elegance that makes Constantia such a fascinating source of red wine. Merlot leads the blend with plum, black cherry and rounded generosity, while Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc bring cassis, graphite, cedar, dried herbs and a fine peppery lift. On the palate, it is rich but composed, with dark fruit, savoury spice and velvety tannins wrapped around a fresh, finely defined core. The 2022 vintage gives the wine balance and poise, with enough structure for the cellar but enough charm to enjoy now with proper food. It is graceful, quietly confident and very easy to trust. For whenA Sunday roast needs a red with polish, depth and a little Cape grandeur.

Constantia Glen is a boutique estate tucked below Constantia Nek, just outside Cape Town, where maritime freshness and mountain soils create reds with unusual elegance. THREE is the estate’s Merlot-led blend, crafted from its own vineyards and shaped by cellar master Justin van Wyk’s precise, polished hand. It captures the estate’s signature beautifully: dark fruit, supple tannin, cool-climate freshness and a quietly luxurious finish.
