Klein Constantia also has a history linked to the Dutch, dating back to the 17th century. Simon van der Stel was looking for a suitable location to establish his farm. He found it, directly below the now-bustling capital, Cape Town. We're talking, of course, about the beautiful Constantia Valley, situated at the top of the Cape Peninsula. With a dazzling view of the iconic False Bay, the location for this farm was found.

The wines of Klein Constantia

Grapes had been grown there for some time, but the last owner of Boerderij Constantia died in 1817. The two sons didn't get along well and divided the estate into Groot and Klein Constantia. Klein Constantia may have been smaller, but the conditions were perfect for viticulture. Situated in the high hills of Constantia, with an almost constant sea breeze, the external factors were excellent. The great success came with the introduction of Klein Constantia's flagship: Klein Constantia Vin de Constance; a wine that changed everything.
