The grapes for this wine are sourced from various blocks within the Constantia region, situated between 38 and 163 meters above sea level. The vineyards face south to southeast, benefiting from a Mediterranean climate with cool Atlantic Ocean breezes and an average annual rainfall of 1,100mm. Soil types include Glenrosa, Clovelly, Avalon, Hutton, and Cartref.

he different components were aged separately for 12 months in French oak barrels: 18% first fill, 25% second fill, 14% third fill, and 43% fourth fill. After maturation, the wines were carefully blended to achieve the final product.

Grapes from selected vineyards were fermented separately, with pump-overs conducted every four hours during fermentation to ensure optimal extraction.

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.
