Don's Reserve

Pairs exquisitely with crab, prawns, grilled seafood, creamy poultry dishes, goats’ cheese salad, or white fish in buttery sauces.

– Sauvignon Blanc (67%) grown on east-facing granite/clay soils, providing a linear, mineral-driven profile. – Semillon (33%) sourced from warmer shale soils, harvested later to enhance ripeness and mouthfeel. Both varieties reflect Constantia’s cooler coastal climate and strategic vineyard site selection.

Aged entirely in oak for an assumed 10–12 months, balancing texture and freshness. Now bottled (January 2024) and ready to enjoy through 2030 as per winemaker’s guidance.

Fully barrel-matured in selected first and second-fill 500 L French oak barrels. This gentle oak integration enhances aromatic depth and mid-palate structure while preserving varietal purity.

Constantia Royale is a limited production Sauvignon Blanc made from grapes grown on the 17 hectare, family-owned farm of Nova Zonnestraal in the beautiful Constantia Valley. It is said that Sauvignon Blanc vines should be able to see the ocean. With this in mind, the vineyards at Nova Zonnestraal were planted with a good view of Cape Hangklip from the western slope and False Bay from the eastern.
