Klein Constantia Vin De Constance 2021

Lusciously fragrant, this wine opens with aromas of apricot, orange peel, and ripe peach, layered with honey, jasmine, and delicate spice. The palate is opulent yet beautifully balanced, showing rich stone-fruit, marmalade, and candied citrus supported by vibrant acidity that keeps the sweetness lifted and pure. Its deep golden hue reflects concentration, while the finish is long, silky, and lingering with notes of honey, spice, and dried fruit.

Vin de Constance is crafted exclusively from Muscat de Frontignan grown on the cool, sea-influenced slopes of the Constantia estate — one of the world’s oldest and most storied wine regions. Revived in the 1980s after centuries of acclaim dating back to the 18th century, this iconic natural sweet wine is made from late-harvested, partially raisined berries that deliver both intensity and freshness. A benchmark of South African winemaking, it remains one of the world’s great dessert wines, celebrated for its balance, complexity, and exceptional ageing potential.

"Intense, powerful nose of apricot, orange and white flowers. On the palate, rich and sweet with a touch of spice, but a very fine line of acidity keeping beautiful harmony. Very long. This will fill out with more vanilla creaminess from longer maturation." - 18 Pts, Tim Jackson MW, Jancisrobinson.com
