Groot Constantia

Groot Constantia is the oldest wine estate in South Africa and provincial heritage site in the suburb of Constantia in Cape Town, South Africa. "Groot" in Dutch and Afrikaans translates as "great" (as in large) in English. History In 1685, during an annual visit to the Cape, Hendrik Adriaan van Rheede tot Drakenstein granted the grounds of Groot Constantia to Simon van der Stel the VOC Governor of the Cape of Good Hope. Van der Stel built the house and used the land to produce wine as well as other fruit and vegetables, and for cattle farming. Following Van der Stel's death in 1712 the estate was broken up and sold in three parts: Groot Constantia; Klein Constantia; and Bergvliet. In 1779 the portion of the estate including Van der Stel's Cape Dutch-style manor house was sold to the Cloete family, who planted extensive vineyards and extended and improved the mansion by commissioning the architect Louis Michel Thibault. The wine cellar was added by Cloete in 1791. The house remained in the possession of the Cloete family until 1885, during which period the estate became famous for its production of Constantia dessert wine. In 1885 Groot Constantia was purchased by the government of the Cape of Good Hope and was used as an experimental wine and agricultural estate. Following a disastrous fire in 1925 the house was extensively restored. In the year 1925 the manor house completely burnt down. Funds were raised to reconstruct it to its original Cape Dutch splendour. In 1969 the manor house became part of the South African Cultural History Museum, and in 1993 the estate passed into the ownership of the Groot Constantia Trust. The exhibition in the house is managed by Iziko South African Museum, and is particularly focused on rural slavery and the life of slaves during the early Cape colonial period. Today, other estates have joined Groot Constantia to form the scenic Constantia wine route. These estates include Klein Constantia, Buitenverwachting, Constantia Uitsig, Steenberg, Constantia Glen, Eagles Nest and High Constantia. Wine production Groot Constantia is noted particularly for its production of high-quality red wines, including Shiraz, Merlot and blended red Gouverneurs Reserve. In 2003 the estate began production of a Constantia dessert wine, called Grand Constance, for the first time since the 1880s. The Bell The estate was home to a historic slave bell, cast in 1716, however it was stolen on the 2nd of September, 2024, and has not been recovered or returned since. Popular culture A number of scenes for the 1955 movie Untamed were set at and within Groot Constantia after the protagonist discovers a diamond and returns to Cape Town to live in a stately mansion.

Groot Constantia

Groot Constantia es la finca vinícola más antigua de Sudáfrica y el patrimonio provincial en el suburbio de Constantia en Ciudad del Cabo, Sudáfrica. La palabra "Groot" en holandés y afrikáans se traduce como "genial" (como grande) en español. Historia En 1685, durante una visita anual a Ciudad del Cabo, Hendrik van Rheede otorgó los terrenos de Groot Constantia a Simon van der Stel, gobernador de la Compañía Neerlandesa de las Indias Orientales del Cabo de Buena Esperanza.​ Van der Stel construyó la casa y usó la tierra para producir vino, así como otras frutas y verduras, y para la cría de ganado. Tras la muerte de Van der Stel en 1712, la finca se dividió y se vendió en tres partes: Groot Constantia, Klein Constantia y Bergvliet. En 1779, la parte de la finca, incluida la casa solariega de estilo Cape Dutch de Van der Stel, se vendió a la familia Cloete,​ que plantaron extensos viñedos y ampliaron y mejoraron la mansión por encargo del arquitecto Louis Michel Thibault. La bodega fue agregada por Cloete en 1791. La casa permaneció en posesión de la familia Cloete hasta 1885, período durante el cual la finca se hizo famosa por la producción de su vino de postre. En 1885, Groot Constantia fue comprado por el gobierno del Cabo de Buena Esperanza y se utilizó como finca vitivinícola y agrícola experimental.​ Tras un desastroso incendio en 1925, la casa fue restaurada en gran medida.​ En el año 1925 la casa solariega se incendió por completo. Se recaudaron fondos para reconstruirlo a su esplendor original de Cape Dutch.​ En 1969, la casa solariega pasó a formar parte del Museo de Historia Cultural de Sudáfrica, y en 1993 la finca pasó a ser propiedad de Groot Constantia Trust. La exposición en la casa está dirigida por el Museo Sudafricano Iziko y se centra particularmente en la esclavitud rural y la vida de los esclavos durante el período colonial temprano del Cabo. Hoy en día, otras fincas se han unido a Groot Constantia para formar la pintoresca ruta del vino de Constantia. Estas propiedades incluyen Klein Constantia, Buitenverwachting, Constantia Uitsig, Steenberg, Constantia Glen, Eagles Nest y High Constantia.​ Producción de vino Groot Constantia se destaca particularmente por su producción de vinos tintos de alta calidad, incluidos Syrah, Merlot y los tintos mezclados Gouverneurs Reserve. En 2003, la finca comenzó a producir un vino de postre Constantia, llamado Grand Constance, por primera vez desde la década de 1880.

Van der Stel construiu a mansão da propriedade, e a utilizou para produzir vinho e outros cultivos, bem como a pecuária. Depois de sua morte em 1712, a propriedade foi dividida em três partes: Groot Constantia; Klein Constantia e Bergvliet. Em 1779, a porção que incluía a mansão construída em estilo neerlandês por Van der Stel foi vendida para a família Cloete, sob ordens de quem foram plantados extensos vinhedos e foi realizada uma melhoria na casa sob os cuidados do arquiteto Louis Michel Thibault. A adega foi construída em 1791. . A propriedade se manteve com a família Cloete por gerações, até 1885. Durante esse período, a vinícula ganhou notoriedade pela sua produção de vinhos de sobremesa. Em 1885, a propriedade foi comprada pelo governo do Cabo da Boa Esperança, e foi utilizada para realizar produção experimental de vinhos e outros cultivos. Houve um incêndio em 1925 em que a Mansão da propriedade foi completamente queimada, mas em seguida, recursos foram levantados para restaurá-la ao seu esplendor original.. Em 1969, a antiga mansão se tornou parte do Museu Sul-Africano de História Cultural, e em 1993, a vinícula passou à propriedade da companhia "Groot Constantia Trust". A visitação da Mansão é administrada pelo Museu Sul-Africano Iziko, tendo foco na escravidão rural e a vida dos escravos no período inicial da colônia do Cabo.
