A Charming Winery in the Constantia Valley with Exceptional Wines

High Constantia Winery: A Legacy Since 1693

High Constantia Winery, nestled in the picturesque Constantia Valley, is a gem in South Africa's wine landscape. Established in 1693, the estate originally belonged to the Dutch East India Company and was known as Wittebomen, named for the Silverleaf trees that adorned the property. Over the years, the estate has changed ownership, and today, it is expertly managed by David van Niekerk. The winery produces a remarkable range of wines that embody the unique characteristics of this historic region. By blending traditional methods with modern techniques, the winemakers create wines that pay homage to the estate's rich heritage.

The wines of High Constantia Winery showcase the local terroir and the distinctive qualities of this historic wine-producing area.

Vineyards with Ideal Conditions

The vineyards at High Constantia Winery are situated at a high altitude, benefiting from a refreshing sea breeze. The region's rainfall and temperature create perfect conditions for grape cultivation, enhancing the ripening process. Located just five kilometers from the ocean, the proximity contributes to the flavor and concentration of the grapes. All grapes are handpicked by dedicated workers and transported to the winery, which has a capacity of 100 tonnes. The soil's excellent water retention plays a crucial role in nurturing the vines and promoting healthy growth.

Diverse Grape Varieties and Reserve Wines

High Constantia Winery cultivates a variety of grapes, including Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Petit Verdot, and Sauvignon Blanc. The finest grapes are selected for their premium red, white, and sparkling wines, focusing on achieving high extraction and delicate flavor concentration. The Reserve range of wines adds a special touch to any occasion and can be aged for several years to enhance their drinking experience.
