Constantia and the Western Cape of South Africa have a close historical association with wine production, with grapes being planted in the valley as early as 1685. Glen Alpine is in the heart of Constantia, and extensive soil and microclimate studies revealed exceptional parcels of terroir here, suitable for the production of fine wines. |
Our steep North and South facing aspects are often shrouded in cooling coastal mists and encouraged the decision to plant a limited number of grape varieties. Glen Alpine is dedicated to the production of only two Constantia Glen wines; a Sauvignon Blanc as well as a 5-varietal Bordeaux style blend comprising Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot. |
