Groot Constantia's vineyards are situated in the historic Constantia region of South Africa, benefiting from a Mediterranean climate with cool Atlantic breezes. This unique terroir contributes to the cultivation of grapes with concentrated flavors and balanced acidity.

The wine undergoes 11 months of maturation in stainless steel tanks on the lees, followed by 18 months of bottle ageing on the lees (sur lie), enhancing its complexity and structure.

After fermentation, the base wine spends 11 months maturing in stainless steel tanks on the lees, then racked. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle, followed by another 18 months of sur lie ageing. Each bottle is hand riddled, disgorged, and corked.

In 1679 Simon van der Stel was appointed by the Dutch East India Company to govern the Cape of Good Hope. After years of loyal service he requested land from the Company. He periodically sent out riders to collect soil samples. In 1685 he chose 891 morgen (about 763 ha) situated behind Table Mountain for its wine-growing potential and magnificent scenery. Over the years the wines produced on the estate caught the attention of influential people across the globe – clearly due to its impressive quality. Global aristocracy made sure that they had enough stock of this acclaimed and precious product. Our founder named his farm Constantia after the Latin word for constancy or steadfastness. These attributes he valued greatly and today we follow in his footsteps to uphold his enduring legacy of perfection at Groot Constantia.
