a district at the Cape of Good Hope, consisting of two farms, which produce the wine known by the name of Cape or Constantia wine. This place is situated at the distance of a mile and a half from Alphen, in a bending or incursion, formed by and nearly under the ridge of hills which runs from Meussen-mountain, and just where it strikes off towards Houtbay. One of these farms is called Little Constantia. Here the white Constantia wine is made. The other produces the red.
