WINE OF CONSTANTIA BY JOSE BURMAN

This is the story of Constantia, the farm made famous by Governor Simon Van Der Stel; of the trials and tribulations of its various owners; of the wine to which it gave birth; and the manor museum, which is famous in its own right.

Jose Burman has the ability to make history come alive, and in this book he has produced a vivid account of the changing picture in the Cape over three centuries, with the trickle of Constantia wine as the binding thread.

This profusely illustrated book relates a story of which South Africa can justly be proud - and one which is known only to a handful of people.
