Winery Klein Constantia
The Winery Klein Constantia, picturesque in the Constantia region near Cape Town, is one of the oldest wineries in South Africa. Founded in 1685, it has a rich history closely linked to South African wine culture.
Klein Constantia is especially famous for its legendary Vin de Constance, a noble sweet wine made from the Muscat de Frontignan grape variety. In the 18th and 19th centuries, this wine was a sought-after drop at the courts of European royal houses and was appreciated by personalities such as Napoleon Bonaparte.
Today, the Winery combines its traditional wine production with a strong commitment to environmental protection. In collaboration with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), Klein Constantia is dedicated to preserving the unique biodiversity of the region. This sustainable approach underscores the special character of the Winery, which harmonizes wine enjoyment with a connection to nature.
Tasting notes
The Cap Classique Blanc de Blanc from Winery Klein Constantia is a sparkling wine with tremendous expressiveness, both on the nose and on the palate. A great wine with enticing aromas of green apple, brioche, and stone fruits on the nose.
On the palate, aromas of citrus fruits and ripe tropical fruits emerge. The Cap Classique Blanc de Blanc from Klein Constantia is perfectly balanced and impresses with a soft, slightly elegant character.
"This is primarily due to the fermentation in the French Barrique and adds a beautiful complexity to this Cap Classique Blanc de Blanc from Klein Constantia."
Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
