About this wine

Klein Constantia Sauvignon Blanc is a benchmark example of this variety from South Africa's celebrated Constantia Valley. Benefiting from the region's cool climate, maritime influence, and granitic soils, this wine showcases freshness, purity, and expressive fruit character with crisp acidity and a refreshing, lingering finish. Why You'll Love It This is Constantia Valley Sauvignon Blanc at its finest—crisp, vibrant, and beautifully expressive with exceptional purity. Founded in 1685, Klein Constantia is one of South Africa's most historic and prestigious wine estates, set between the slopes of Table Mountain and the False Bay coast. Internationally acclaimed for its wines, particularly the iconic sweet wine Vin de Constance, Klein Constantia's Sauvignon Blanc has also built a reputation for quality and precision. The cool climate, maritime influence, and decomposed granite soils create ideal conditions for world-class Sauvignon Blanc. Vineyard & Production Sourced from carefully selected Sauvignon Blanc vines grown on decomposed granite soils in the Constantia Valley, benefiting from cool climate and maritime influence. Grapes were harvested by hand in the cool of the morning, gently pressed, and fermented at controlled temperatures in stainless steel to preserve aromatics. A portion was aged on fine lees for added texture and complexity. Tasting Notes Bright and pale in colour with aromas of citrus, passionfruit, and elderflower, layered with subtle saline and mineral undertones. The palate is crisp and vibrant with lively acidity carrying flavours of lime zest, green apple, and tropical fruit to a refreshing, lingering finish. Perfect Pairings Perfect as an aperitif or paired with oysters, sushi, grilled fish, goat cheese, or fresh summer salads. Also excellent with shellfish, Asian cuisine, or light seafood dishes. Best served well chilled at 8–10°C. Grape Variety 100% Sauvignon Blanc
