Mother Nature smiled when she
prepared the Constantia Valley for the winemaker. She
bestowed on him the influence of the sun, wind, oceans and
fertile soil, and then challenged him to plant vineyards and
make excellent wines. To this the owners of Constantia have
answered positively for more than three centuries, producing
one of the world's most famous wines which was coveted
across the globe and those who were fortunate enough to
taste it soon refused to settle for anything less.
So little was produced and it was of such uncompromising
quality that it was exclusively bought and consumed by the
aristocracy of the world. In fact, some history books
actually use the word "hoarded"! Members of the British
Royal House, Napoleon Bonaparte, King Louis Philippe of
France, Frederick (The Great) of Prussia, the Lords
Seventeen of the VOC, governors, admirals, captains and many
other dignitaries coveted the Constantia label and treated
their guests to it.
