      Producer Information

      Our magnificently appointed wine estate on the upper reaches of the Constantiaberg, is one of the jewels of the Constantia Valley, home of South African wine with a proud winemaking history dating back to 1685, when Simon van der Stel first made wine on his farm called Constantia. After van der Stel’s death in 1712, the Constantia farm was split into three properties known today as Groot Constantia, Klein Constantia and Buitenverwachting. Our 60 hectares of land (today known as Constantia Glen) would have been far too difficult to farm in the 1700’s and was most likely used for grazing of livestock for the first hundred years of Constantia’s history. Originally called Benydendal and later Klein Benydendal, the farm was first registered in 1813 to its original owner, Johannes Gregorius van Helsdingen, who was the first to plant vines on the farm. By 1832, when his nephew Johannes Frederick, inherited the property, it was a productive farm under 15 000 vines. Not much is known about the 11 years that followed, which saw a fairly rapid succession of ownership until 1843, when Sebastiaan Valentyn van Reenen, a grandson of the Cloete’s, the famous Dutch VOC merchant family, bought the farm and renamed it Glen Alpine. Under the van Reenens Glen Alpine prospered and became a renowned wine estate visited by many callers to the Cape including Queen Victoria’s son, Prince Alfred. In 1851 the land was sold once more on auction and the property changed hands several times over the next 100 years during which time the land was used primarily for small scale farming with fruit trees, a small vineyard and dairy, but largely the farm became overgrown with forest vegetation. The Waibel family from Austria bought Glen Alpine farm in 1960 and set about building their homes on the farm, as they set up a large textile business, called BMD Knitting Mills, in the Cape. Although living on the farm, the land was not commercially farmed from 1960 until 1995 when it became an elite stud farm for champion Red Angus breeding stock. Around about 1998, Dieter Waibel, together with his son Alexander and son-in-law Gus Allen, started with the planning to bring the land back to its original function as a wine farm.
