Buitenverwachting

Reviewed By RoBertie - Pleasanton, United States

This is a very family friendly winery that offers outdoor seating and treats. The tasting room is an old Dutch Colonial Manor house and it is the oldest winers in the area (early 1600's). The wines are good and servers knowledgeable, but mostly it's just a relaxing place with a large lawn.

This was our second visit to Constantia - the first was last January and we were delighted to find that the wine and food were every bit as good as we remembered. We had excellent advice from Cathy, who looked after us extremely well. The Flammkuchen was delicious, as was the smoked trout platter and her knowledgeable information throughout our wine tasting was was very helpful. Naturally, we came away rather more burdened with wine than we intended!

From vintage to vintage, the wines consistently express the characteristics of each cultivar, giving a rounded complex structure with quality throughout. Quality and consistency is paramount at Eagles' Nest. Our unique terroir combines with a passionate attention to detail in the vineyards, yields fruit that is crafted into wines which epitomise elegance, finesse and complexity.

Reviewed By R8081WXadamk - Staffordshire, United Kingdom

We used the red bus tour to drop us off at the gates of Eagles nest. We walked up the driveway to be greated by a lovely smiley lady and "BEAR"(the dog) fast asleep. We were invited in for a tasting but declined. We did stop and have a glass of wine and some great SA delicacies. We were also greated by BEARS friends IZZY AND TEDDY. These just add to the perfect feel of the place. Unfortunately we only had a small backsack otherwise these dogs may have come back to the UK with us. Thanks for the wonderful look into the vineyard and a warm welcome.
