The maiden 2005 vintage as well as the 2006 Sauvignon Blanc were produced solely from grapes grown on the farm. The grapes were vinified by award-winning winemaker John Loubser of neighbouring Steenberg Estate, renowned for their highly acclaimed Steenberg Reserve Sauvignon Blanc. As from our 2007 harvest, Karl Lambour has been the winemaker. Karl holds invaluable experience gained from time spent in St Emilion where he had the opportunity to pay technical visits to many of the great wineries in the area – Chateaux Cheval Blanc, Angelus, Lafite and Pichon Comtesse to name a few. Our single red wine, the Constantia Glen Bordeaux blend, will probably only be ready for release in 2009.
 
 

Our only white wine, the Sauvignon Blanc, has shown great promise with a gold medal at the SA Young Wine show, 4½ stars in the 2006 and 2007 John Platter Wine Guide, and a silver medal at the 2006 Decanter Wine awards. Strong consumer demand has ensured allocations into selected top end local and international restaurants, the balance being sold through boutique retailers.

The 2005 and 2006 Sauvignon Blanc show a clear "fingerprint". Intense varietal characteristics define this classically-formed Constantia Sauvignon Blanc, in which tropical fruit is integrated with intense minerality.
