Klein Constantia
Described as one of the world’s most beautiful vineyards, Klein Constantia is set amidst ancient trees and lush greenery on the upper foothills of the Constantiaberg, with superb views across the Constantia Valley and False Bay
Klein Constantia was originally a part of Simon van der Stel’s expansive Constantia estate, which was granted in 1685. It later became a part of Groot Constantia until 1823, when it was divided between the Cloete brothers, Jacob Pieter and Johan Gerhard. Johan Gerhard took ownership of the upper reaches on the eastern slopes and foothills of the Constantiaberg, where over 33,000 vines had already been planted. He named this spectacular piece of land Klein Constantia.
The estate is deeply committed to producing terroir-driven wines that express elegance, minerality, and balance, thanks to the unique location, climate, and soils. The winemaking team employs simple techniques to extract the best from expertly nurtured vineyards, resulting in consistently excellent wines that showcase the terroir's true character.
