Klein Constantia
High on the Constantiaberg above Cape Town, a short drive from Stellenbosch, Klein Constantia carries a legacy that began in 1685 and once enchanted Europe’s courts. The estate’s fame rests on Vin de Constance, a historic sweet wine revived with modern precision—first reimagined in the 1980s and firmly re-established on the world stage by 1990.
Ocean air from False Bay cools the slopes, while decomposed granite and sandstone add definition to the vines. Muscat de Frontignan is harvested in multiple passes, with meticulous berry selection and periods of natural raisining to build concentration without heaviness. Fermentation and maturation in oak are handled with restraint, letting texture and balance lead. With replanting, massal selection and renewed bush-vine blocks, the estate stays anchored in place: Wine of Origin Constantia, voiced through craftsmanship, patience and a distinctly maritime Cape light.Klein Constantia
