Experience the legacy of Klein Constantia, one of the world’s most beautiful and historic wine estates, nestled in the upper foothills of the Constantiaberg Mountains near Cape Town, South Africa. Established in 1685 by Governor Simon Van der Stel, this iconic estate is the birthplace of the legendary Vin de Constance, a natural dessert wine once adored by European royalty and aristocracy throughout the 18th century.
Klein Constantia is located in the heart of the Constantia wine region, just between False Bay and Hout Bay. With its cool maritime climate, granite-rich soils, and proximity to the ocean, the estate produces elegant, terroir-driven wines with exceptional balance and minerality.
The vineyard's elevated position, ranging from 70 to 343 meters above sea level and consistent sea breeze create ideal conditions for cultivating Muscat de Frontignan, the grape behind the globally celebrated Vin de Constance. These natural influences enhance the concentration, complexity, and flavour of every grape.
Klein Constantia is not only known for its award-winning wines but also its deep commitment to sustainable viticulture. As a WWF Conservation Champion since 2011, the estate plays a vital role in preserving the Cape Floristic Region, a global biodiversity hotspot home to over 14,000 plant and animal species. Their eco-friendly farming methods balance agricultural excellence with environmental responsibility.
