Product Details

Code: ANW002

Klein Constantia is one of South Africa's most famous – and historic – wine producers, located in Constantia in the hills overlooking southwest Cape Town. This historic wine was a favorite of the courts of Europe in the 19th Century, and is mentioned in the literature of Charles Dickens and Jane Austen. It was famously requested by Napoleon Bonaparte on his deathbed. The estate was once part of a larger estate called Constantia, established in 1685 by Simon van Der Stel, the then-Governor. In 1817, the estate was broken up into Groot (big) and Klein (small) Constantia, the latter of which was already under vine.

Anwilka Vineyards is located just 7 kilometers from the ocean in Stellenbosch. 40 hectare red wine property is planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Petit Verdot. Proximity to the sea provides a specific microclimate that, together with the old ferricrete soils, are perfect for producing rich and focused wines.

Notes of cherry and toasted wood spice can be found on this wine’s open and vibrant nose. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is balanced by a natural acidity. The tannins are firm but subtle, adding to its aging potential.
