Product Details

Code: KC003

Klein Constantia is one of South Africa's most famous – and historic – wine producers, located in Constantia in the hills overlooking southwest Cape Town. This historic wine was a favorite of the courts of Europe in the 19th Century, and is mentioned in the literature of Charles Dickens and Jane Austen. It was famously requested by Napoleon Bonaparte on his deathbed. The estate was once part of a larger estate called Constantia, established in 1685 by Simon van Der Stel, the then-Governor. In 1817, the estate was broken up into Groot (big) and Klein (small) Constantia, the latter of which was already under vine.

Bright and light in appearance, aromas of citrus and stone fruit fill the nose. The palate is richly textured, fresh and complex with a bold minerality – a pure expression of Sauvignon Blanc. The wine concludes with a long crisp flinty finish.
