Fine Wines
Constantia Uitsig, Groot Constantia, Klein Constantia, Buitenverwachting and Steenberg - the five producers making up the Constantia Wine Route - are big in quality, rich in a unique terroir, and boast a wine-making history dating back to 1685.
The valley was the cradle of quality wine-making in South Africa, and the name Constantia is linked with the most famous wines ever produced in this country. For over two centuries these natural sweet wines were sought-after by royal courts and the aristocracy of Europe.
Today Constantia is seen as a benchmark of South African wine, identified in top-of-mind awareness as one of the fine wine regions outside Europe. The significant awards garnered by producers over the last decade are testimony to the quality and consistently high standards of the wines.
Given its proximity to the city and easy accessibility. Constantia is truly Cape Town's own wine route. The breathtaking beauty of a valley where vineyard rows stretch up the mountainside - within minutes of a capital city - is unique in today's overcrowded world. |
