Vin de Constance…

Dating 1685, one of most beautiful wine estates, Klein Constantia is set amidst ancient trees on upper foot hills of Constantia, with stunning views across False Bay. Innocent beauty, ripe with decomposed granite soil gently cooled by fresh ocean breeze.

Klein Constantia produces South Africa’s top wines and one of world’s best natural sweet winesVin de Constance.

Made from Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains (Muscat de Frontignan) grapes in Constantia, Cape Town. An absolute favourite.

Vin De Constance – legendary

Kings vied for possessing this wine. Louis Philippe sent emissaries from France to fetch it. Napoleon’s wish in his lonely exile. Frederick the Great and Bismarck ordered it.

Charles Dickens tells of ‘support embodied in a glass of Constantia and a home-made biscuit’, while Jane Austen recommended it’s healing powers for a ‘disappointed heart’.

A German poet Klopstock devoted an entire ode to pleasures of this sweet wine. While Baudelaire transformed it to a sensuous image for great poem ‘Les Fleurs du Mal’.
