Historic cradle of South African wine (Simon van der Stel 1685) on the southern tip of the Cape peninsula: signature emblematic Vin de Constance — mythical sweet wine from Muscat de Frontignan resurrected in 1986 by Klein Constantia, honeyed and opulent with candied fruits, apricot, candied citrus and raisins, balanced by fresh acidity. Also taut Sauvignon Blanc as king white, Chardonnay and reds on Atlantic slopes. Ultra-cool maritime climate, heritage prestige.
