CONSTANTIA

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 988 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COM-COR
CONSTANTIA , a
district
  of Cape Colony, in the Cape peninsula, noted for the excellent quality of its wines, the best produced in
South
  Africa. The government wine farm,
Groot
  Constantia, to m. S. of Cape Town, contains over 150,000 vines. This and the adjacent farm of High Constantia are the only farms on which the vines yielding the finest wines flourish. The
district
  is also celebrated for the excellence of the fruit it yields.
Groot
  Constantia
House
  is a good example of the Dutch colonial dwelling-houses of the 17th
century
 . It was built (c. 1684) by the
governor
  Simon van der Stell, and named in honour of his wife Constance. Van der Stell also laid out the vineyard, which soon attained a wide reputation. Old Cape Colony, by Mrs A. F. Trotter (London, 1903), contains a plan and sketches of Groot Constantia.
