The Constantia Valley is truly Cape Town’s Vineyard
The oldest wine-making region in the southern hemisphere, dating back to 1685, Constantia Valley is today the Cape’s most intimate wine route consisting of eight wine farms, each with their own distinctive heritage and premium wines.
Enjoyed by Napoleon Bonaparte and royalty in the 18th century, Constantia Valley’s unique combination of terroir and climate produces some of the world’s finest wines that continue to this day to win accolades and international awards for consistently high standard and quality.
Constantia Glen
"Capturing the essence of Sauvignon Blanc"
Cradled on the slopes of the Constantiaberg overlooking False Bay lies Constantia Glen. This newest member of the Constantia Wine route will ultimately support the production of only 2 wines, namely a Sauvignon Blanc as well as a 5-varietal Bordeaux style blend which will be realeased at the end of 2009.
Constantia Glen Sauvignon Blanc has shown great promise; it has received a Gold medal at the SA Young Wine show, 4½ stars in the 2006 and 2007 John Platter Wine Guides and receievd 90 points in the Wine Spectator magazine.
The 2005 and 2006 Sauvignon Blanc present an identifiable linear style with an intense varietal characteristic which is the cornerstone of this classically styled Constantia Sauvignon Blanc, combining tropical fruit with a well-integrated minerality.
