A legendary wine of incredible complexity! Twenty kilometers away from Cape Town, Klein Constantia produces the famous Constance wine, a nectar prized by all the courts of Europe and the great ones of the world, made from Muscat de Frontignan. It is even said that Napoleon Bonaparte drank it on St. Helena... It is more than 300 years of history bottled up, which easily rivals the most prestigious Sauternes or sweet wines of the Loire and Alsace regions... The legend continues since 1685...
