Production
Klein Constantia, nestled in South Africa’s historic Constantia Valley, has been producing exceptional wines since 1685. The estate’s unique location, characterized by cool maritime breezes and decomposed granite soils, provides an ideal terroir for crafting elegant and refined wines. Over the years, Klein Constantia has carefully selected varietals that best suit their terroir, planting them on the lower and warmer slopes of the estate. This meticulous approach allows the winery to achieve ripeness alongside delicate tannins, resulting in wines that truly represent their unique location.
Tasting notes
Aromas of ripe strawberries, dark cherries, and red peppercorns unfold with layers of cedar, tobacco, and sweet spice. The palate is full-bodied and structured, with firm tannins and a long, polished finish.
