The book pays homage to the finely-tuned contemporary operations and advances behind its world-class winemaking.
The evocative journey spanning more than 140 years of Constantia Glen, a jewel in the crown of South Africa’s oldest wine region, has been chronicled in a beautiful coffee table book.captures the life and times of this boutique wine estate through its turbulent early history and eventual transformation from forest land into one of the Cape’s premier family-owned wine estates.
The book pays homage to the finely-tuned contemporary operations and advances behind its world-class winemaking, the Constantia Glen team’s unflinching commitment to quality in everything that they do, and the “extended family” – the Constantia Glen staff – some of whom have worked on the farm for decades.
The 60 hectares of undulating landscape have been under the custodianship of the Waibel family, a textile dynasty from Dornbirn in Austria, since the late ’50s – first as rolling forest land, then an Angus stud before returning to their historic wine farming roots.The first vines were planted in 2000 with the very first vintage of Sauvignon Blanc harvested in 2005.
