The Beau Constantia Aidan flows into the glass in a dark, almost opaque colour - a colour that is confirmed in the opulent bouquet of ripe dark fruit. On the nose, the bouquet is rich in black cherry aromas, followed by soft nuances of fine violet and lavender, wonderfully rounded off by the Syrah notes of pepper and plum. After this seductive fragrance experience, it is naturally expected that these complex aromas will continue on the palate - and they do so seamlessly. This full-bodied wine presents itself with a powerful yet polished character. Its taut tannins relax in the long, clearly defined and peppery finish. The harmony between lush, full texture and well-integrated minerality gives this wine a certain resonance - just like it is typical for an Aidan.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes for this first-class wine were picked by hand and selected berry by berry with great care for further production. The fermentation took place in small fermentation tanks. A rather modern approach, combined with a shorter swelling phase of only 15 days on the skin, has produced a highly exclusive and premium red cuvée in the New World style. A style that allows especially the Malbec and Petit Verdot varieties to shine through with wonderfully ripe fruit notes. The wine matured for 18 months in French oak barrels, 50% of which were made of new wood, 35% of which was second filled, 15% of which was third filled.
