Constantia Glen: Cool Climate Wines from the Constantia Valley

Constantia Glen is located below Constantia Nek, between the Constantiaberg massif and Table Mountain. The vineyards lie between 130 and 270 meters above sea level and benefit from maritime breezes from False Bay, which moderate temperatures and promote slow grape ripening.

The estate spans 60 hectares, but only 29 are planted with vines. The soils are predominantly composed of decomposed granite, Table Mountain sandstone, and moisture-retaining clay subsoils. These conditions contribute to the recognizable style of Constantia Glen wines: fresh and deep whites, and balanced, defined reds suitable for aging.

Constantia Glen Wines

The estate's main production includes four labels, all made exclusively from grapes grown on the property:

• Constantia Glen Sauvignon Blanc: a fresh, varietal, and mineral Constantia Sauvignon Blanc, characterized by balance and persistence.
• Constantia Glen TWO: a white blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, fermented and aged in wood, amphorae, or other containers depending on the vintage. A structured, taut wine capable of evolving over time.
• Constantia Glen THREE: a Bordeaux blend composed of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc, an elegant and fresh expression of Constantia's maritime climate.
• Constantia Glen FIVE: the estate's flagship wine, produced with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot.

The labels and vintages available in the Cape Best collection may vary based on imports and availability.
