Academie Du Vin Library Klein Constantia The Home of Vin de Constance

Description

The Constantia Valley is much more than the cradle of wine culture in South Africa, just as Klein Constantia is not just a modern incarnation of a long-forgotten estate, and Vin de Constance is a modern incarnation of a legendary wine."

So writes Michael Fridzhon in his introduction to this beautiful book, which tells the dramatic and inspiring story of Klein Constantia through its people, vineyards and wines, most notably Vin de Constance, a truly modern icon in the world of fine wine.

Starting in the late seventeenth century, Joan Gibson describes how Constantia became one of the most celebrated and sought-after wines in the world. After disappearing without a trace for more than a century, the legendary Constantia was reborn with the replanting of Klein Constantia in the 1980s.

Malu Lambert tells the story of the modern renaissance of the Klein Constantia winery under its new, inspiring owners since 2011, showing how everything has been done to ensure that this beautiful and timeless estate takes its rightful place as one of the world's great fine wine producers.

Together they take readers on a wonderful journey of discovery in a hardback edition that is beautifully designed, illustrated and printed.
