In the 18th and 19th centuries the "sweet, luscious and excellent wine called Constantia, so highly esteemed in Europe" was the only wine in the Southern Hemisphere to achieve international acclaim. Napoleon, King Louis Philippe of France, Charles Dickens and Frederick the Great all demanded it while Jane Austen even recommended it as a cure for a broken heart. Now, a century after its disappearance comes the renaissance - Vin de Constance - carefully made in the style of the old Constantia, from vineyards which once produced this legendary wine.

This truly traditional fortified wine was crafted by hand-picking, foot-stomping, unfiltered-passion. Touriga Nacional and South Africa's own Pintoage join forces to produce this structured delight offering warm, complete flavours. For utmost pleasure it must be enjoyed with friend or foe, in a crowd or alone.

Full ripe Portugeuse varieties were used to create this complex, smooth, flavour rich wine; fortified with brandy spirit and aged for two years in old 4000 litre traditinal pipe casks.
