Sauvignon Blanc

This wine pairs excellently with grilled fish, poultry, or fresh goat's milk cheese, enhancing the flavors of these dishes. ​

The grapes for this wine are sourced from vineyards situated between 100 to 240 meters above sea level, with south to southeast-facing slopes. The Mediterranean climate, influenced by cool Atlantic breezes, and an average annual rainfall of 1,100mm, contribute to the unique terroir of the Constantia region.

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.
