Constantia
The Constantia wine region is the oldest wine-growing region in South Africa and is located just 15 kilometers south of Cape Town, on the eastern slopes of Table Mountain. The cool, maritime climate – influenced by its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean – and well-drained granite soils create ideal conditions for elegant wines rich in finesse. In particular, the fog that rises from False Bay in the morning and the fresh breeze in the afternoon ensure that the grapes ripen slowly and retain their natural acidity.
Constantia is world-famous for its fresh Sauvignon Blancs, but also for finely balanced Chardonnay and Bordeaux blends. A specialty of the region is the legendary Vin de Constance – a noble sweet dessert wine made from the Muscat de Frontignan grape, which was supplied to European royalty as early as the 18th century and is now an internationally recognized prestige product.
