The historically important if tiny wine district of Constantia lies in Cape Town’s southern wards, and on the most southerly point of Africa, the Cape of Good Hope. It is most famous for its ancient dessert wine Vin de Constance, as produced by Klein Constantia estate. The cooling, south-easterly sea breezes make Constantia a natural site for Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon as well as Muscat.
