Why it's worth your time
The view is the headline; the cool-climate wines hold up to it. A short, modern stop and the easiest 'wow' tasting in the Cape Town wine circuit.
What we love
The glass tasting room cantilevered over the valley — the best single view from any cellar door in the Cape.
What to know
The highest estate in Constantia; its cool, high site produces the Cecily Vega range, made from the valley's coldest, slowest-ripening vines.
