Come for Vin de Constance if sweet wine is the point of the stop. It sits next door to Groot, so do not treat them as two days.

Sweet

A short history

Klein Constantia is one of the farms cut from Simon van der Stel's Constantia after he died in 1712. The sweet wine of this valley was already being shipped to Europe in the 18th century.

Duggie Jooste bought the farm in 1980 and brought Vin de Constance back, a sweet wine from Muscat de Frontignan. It sits next door to Groot, so the two belong in one afternoon.
