About Constantia Uitsig
Constantia Uitsig, nestled in the oldest wine-producing region in the Southern Hemisphere, is a testament to the rich history of winemaking in the Constantia Valley. Originally part of Simon van der Stel’s expansive Constantia estate, it has evolved into one of the distinguished wine estates along the Constantia Valley Wine Route. Dating back to 1685, Constantia Uitsig offers a haven for work and play, embodying centuries of winemaking tradition.
Wine
Situated beneath the slopes of Table Mountain, Constantia Uitsig benefits from the crisp Atlantic ocean breeze and a mild climate, resulting in exceptional wines for over three centuries. As one of the lowest-lying farms in the valley, its fertile soils are particularly conducive to producing world-class whites, including Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay. The estate’s commitment to optimal growing conditions ensures consistently high-quality wines. Shop their wines here.
