Klein Constantia Sauvignon Blanc is a white wine that elegantly represents the best from South Africa's vineyards. With a history dating back to 1685, the winery has a long tradition of producing wines of the highest quality. This Sauvignon Blanc is made exclusively from hand-picked grapes that are carefully treated to preserve their natural freshness and character.

Excellent choice for both seafood and light dishes

The wine is aged exclusively in steel tanks to preserve its fruity character and terroir. Each vineyard contributes its unique flavor profile, and the grapes are only blended at the end to achieve the perfect balance. The result is a wine with an intense aroma of flint, citrus and tropical fruits, a full flavor with notes of melon and a mineral freshness typical of Klein Constantia. The high acidity and complex flavors make this wine an excellent choice for both seafood and light dishes.

This Sauvignon Blanc places itself between the green freshness of Sancerre and the tropical tones of Marlborough in terms of taste, but still manages to stand out with its own unique style. The green notes of pyrazines, such as grass and green pepper, are evident and give the wine its special character. The wine has received praise from international reviewers with high ratings, underpinning its status as one of the world's best white wines.
