Beau Constantia - young winery in Constantia

Beau Constantia is a small winery located at the top of Constantia Nek with a spectacular view of False Bay. Across the bay, Stellenbosch and the Helderberg mountains are in sight. It's hard to believe that as famous an area as Constantia is (the first vines were planted here in the 17th century) the first vines were only planted on the property in 2003. Until then there were goat farms here, which burned down in the fires at the turn of the millennium.

The winery's philosophy is minimal intervention in production and winemaker Megan van der Merwe has left no stone unturned when it comes to creating wines with a strong sense of terroir. The vineyards comprise 12 hectares that cling tenaciously to the steepest hillside in the Western Cape. Without limits, however, is the winery's commitment to putting out beautiful, structured wines that perfectly reflect their given vintage and place of origin.
