Constantia
See Constantia producers See a list of Constantia wines
The historically important, if tiny, wine district of Constantia lies in Cape Town’s southern wards and on the most southerly point of Africa, the Cape of Good Hope.
Constantia is most famous for its ancient dessert wine Vin de Constance (made from Muscat de Frontignan) as produced by Klein Constantia estate.
The cooling south-easterly sea breezes make Constantia a natural site for Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon as well as Muscat.
The district is home to a mere 5 wine estates; Klein Constantia, Groot Constantia, Buitervenwachting, Constantia Uitsig and Steenberg.
