Constantia
The final of the three important wine producing regions in South Africa is Constantia, located in the suberns of Cape Town. Less well-known than its two superstar neighbours, Constantia is South Africa’ oldest wine region, and best known in the past for its legendary Vin de Constance. Its popularity surged in the 18th century when it was mentioned by both Jane Austen and Charles Dickens and quickly became le vin de choix of kings and emperors in Europe. Nowadays Constantia has caught up with the modern style of winemaking and if you're looking for superlative, cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc then you can’t really go wrong with a Constantia.
