  <p>Best known for their sweet wine, Vin de Constance, Klein Constantia are one of South Africa’s most fabled producers.   <br /><br />  Situated just outside Capetown, where the southern oceans temper the heat of an African summer, this makes it perfect for growing Sauvignon Blanc.  <br /><br />  <b>Vin de Constance is one of the world’s most historic wines.</b> The estate was founded in 1684, and Vin de Constance was written about by Austen, Dickens and Baudelaire. Napoleon insisted on thirty bottles a month being shipped to him during his exile on St Helena. And in modern times, Sandrine Garbay, cellarmaster at Château d’Yquem, has confided Matt that <b>Vin de Constance remains one of their reference points in sweet wine.</b>  <br /><br />  Matt has been at the helm here since 2012, and he’s been making waves in a short period of time. As well as being a master of sweet wines, this young winemaker makes some of the best dry whites we’ve come across.  <br /><br />  We'll focus on his world-beating Sauvignons, and the historic and legendary Vin de Constance.  <br /><br />  Matt's rarely away from his cellar, such is the care and attention that goes into his wines, this is a rare opportunity to get to meet a rising international star.  <br /><br />  <i>Places will be limited to 14 guests.</i>  </p>    <table><tr><td><strong>Date:</strong></td><td>Tuesday, 17th September 2019</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Time:</strong></td><td>From 7:00pm</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Ticket:</strong></td><td>£160 per person</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Location:</strong></td><td>Quality Chop House, 88-94 Farringdon Rd, London EC1R 3EA</td></tr>  <tr><td><strong>Closest stations:</strong></td><td>Farringdon, Chancery Lane</td></tr>  </tr>    <tr><td colspan ="2" style="text-align:center;"><h3 style = "margin-bottom:0px;">Menu</h3><img src="/Web/media/Media/Menu_Divider.png"/><br />  <p>To be confirmed closer to the event.  </p>  </td></tr>      <tr><td colspan ="2" style="text-align:center;"><h3 style = "margin-bottom:0px;">Wines</h3><img src="/Web/media/Media/Menu_Divider.png" /><br />  <ul style="font-size: .92857rem;list-style: none;">  <li>2019 Cuv&eacute;e Anabel</li>  <li>2018 Perdeblokke</li>  <li>2018 Clara</li>  <li>2014 Block 381</li>  <li>2018 Block 382</li>  <li>2013 Estate Red</li>  <li>2017 Metis</li>  <li>2007 Vin de Constance</li>  <li>2012 Vin de Constance</li>  <li>2015 Vin de Constance</li>  </ul>    </td></tr>    </table>    <h4>Other information</h4>  <p>To save you the trouble of printing out a ticket, we’ll have a guestlist at the door.   <br /><br />  If you purchase more than one ticket, please share the name(s) of your guest(s) with <a href="mailto:customercare@laywheeler.com">customercare@laywheeler.com</a> so that we know to expect them.   <br /><br />  In the event you can no longer make it, we'll do our very best to credit your ticket towards future wines.
