Guess the Wine Farm!

I thought this might be a good way for the global wine community to familiarize themselves with South African wine producers… and indeed an opportunity for South African’s to test their general knowledge!
So I challenge you all and ask… the photograph alongside is the aerial view of which South African wine farm? Post all answers and any questions you might have below.
Clue: This wine estate produced one of South Africa’s most legendary wines in the 18th and 19th centuries.
 

Cheers!

Groot Constantia!

well, from the clue it has to be Constantia.

The Constantia estate that produced those famous wines was broken up into several, including Groot (Great) and Klein (Little) Constantia. So really the answer to the clue has to be Constantia, but I’d guess from the photo it is the current Groot Constantia.

Groot Constantia indeed…

Either you’re too good or that was way too easy, so which was it then?

I think it was my clue that gave it away, but you can be sure that I won’t be so generous next time!

P.S. Thanks for the interesting bit of history Peter :)

Hi Brandon – we’re just way too clever! :-) Actually, it was the history part that put me on the right track, and working in the Constantia Valley, in the wine industry, I know the layout of Groot Constantia fairly well, and could instantly recognise it – unfair advantage?
