The wine region of Constantia
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.
The wine region of Western Cape
Cradle of South African wine. Signature Chenin Blanc (Steen, 20%) in ample, fresh whites with notes of quince, yellow apple, honey and acacia flower, from crisp dry to sweet. Sharp, iodised Sauvignon Blanc (Walker Bay, Constantia), balanced Chardonnay. Reds: emblematic Pinotage with roasted aromas (coffee, plum, smoke), firm Cabernet Sauvignon, spicy Syrah.
The word of the wine: Solid
A full-bodied wine, rich in tannins and probably with good ageing potential.
