Klein Constantia, a historic estate dating back to 1685, is located on a perfect location to produce cool climate premium wines and is now the most exciting white-wine area in all South Africa, producing some of South Africa’s top wines.

The vineyards are situated on the fertile valley on the narrow Cape Peninsula and are very much favoured by the cool and gentle maritime climate. Here Klein Constantia have demonstrated its great potential for Sauvignon Blanc and Rhine Riesling. Their first vines were planted here as recently as 1982, and shortly afterwards its Sauvignon Blanc had picked up the country’s premier white-wine prize.
